Seems to be an an over-abundance of gloves. Alot of the trash seemed to be older than usual, and I guess much of it was turned up by the typhoon last week

The leg portion of some type of heavy rubber suit

cloth gloves

plastic gloves


The area around the pipes I had been cutting massive fishing nets/ropes from earlier in the spring seemed to have cleared up and is now no longer covered by sand. I didn't have my knife with me on this survey, but on the next trip be able to once again clear some of that debris.
