One by one by one... A world record is broken. (WORLD RECORD DIVE AGAINST DEBRIS EVENT)

633 divers. 2700lbs of fishing gear. Over 9,000 pieces of marine debris reported to Project AWARE. To say today's collaboration of The World Record Clean Up Event hosted by Dixie Divers was a success is an understatement.

Hundreds of Divers under the support of PADI, Project AWARE, many other dive centers, community members, and more, all came together to make Deerfield Beach a better place for all who live there, above and below the waves.

What an amazing day for Conservation and an amazing day for the dive community.
This was part of the successful World Record Clean Up Event in Deerfield Beach Florida

If you know your survey site coordinates, enter them manually in decimal degrees using WGS84 Map Datum. Use the minus sign for latitudes south of the equator and longitudes west of the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees.

If you do not know your survey site coordinates, click the “Map Location” tab to use the map to zoom into your survey site and drop the pin on the map to fall within your survey dive site in the water (not on land or the beach). Ensure you zoom in as much as possible to ensure data accuracy.

The strong winds and stormy weather could have lead to transplantation of debris from deeper ocean away from the reef. Also we are having some villa refurbishments near the location so some building material could have infiltrated into the reef environment more easily.
Some stormy weather, strong winds, white caps, slight waves.

This is an actual wreck that sunk 10 years ago. We have started the process of removing the items that were originally on the boat. But, it is apparent that the area is being fished quite a bit.
We pulled up two boat anchors from a different boat.
Fish caught on a lure and unable to release. We were able to catch him and remove the hook.
Clear with overcast. Light rains
