Miss the pie chart showing the various types of debris removed~~

I wasn't able to get to my normal area in front of the rocks as there were a good number of citizens on the rocks fishing. I was hoping to get to the same debris field I found last week, but I was only able to stay south of the rocks in the mostly flat sandy area.
