If I am not mistaken, the data from my last 2 surveys have not been added to the totals for S. Korea on the worldwide map.

Sand has again reclaimed much of the area where I was working to remove so much of the cloth ropes. This survey was a bit farther down the pipe where there is a HUGE mass of nets. Was able to free the mass from the vertical section of the pipe, but its sop huge and mostly buried in sand around and under the horizontal pipe. All of this was just bits cut from the main mass.
