I really wish this survey form allowed for spacing of paragraphs in the "additional information" section after submitting the survey.. That information would be much easier to read if I could separate info, but despite spacing paragraphs when typing, once submitted however its all smashed together.

Great vis. As I mentioned in a previous survey (I think) this year there seems to be an abundance of new marine plant life. So far what I am finding is that many many pieces of random nylon string are getting tangled in these plants. Also there seems to be more fish than usual for this time of year in the area (many schools, and suddenly this year many John Dory fish have inhabited the area. I saw one or two the first year and never again over these 5 years until this year and they are abundant. Video of full dive here: https://youtu.be/XRKtZBgqoAY
