fishing line as we have alot of local fisherman using lines to catch reef fish which gets caught in the coral and they cut it free leaving most of it including hooks tangled in the reef
Food wrappers from picnics etc gets blown into the sea and caught in corals etc.
plastic bottles. we have no recycling facilities here so lots of plastic bottles end up getting blown into the sea

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.

This was a part of the Earth Day event - Island Community Event.
Weather patterns on the island, moving currents bring marine debri offshore to the coast. Possibly construction in nearby bays and fishing boats dropping off the garbage in the water.

Fathoms Free organised a marine debris clearance weekend at Brixham, Devon.
Although we removed a massive amount of marine debris from this area, we hardly touch the sheer volume of fishing line and weights at Hopes Nose. It will take a very long time to completely clear this area as it is a very popular fishing spot. There is also a problem with ghost fishing pots around the Breakwater and the harbour. We retrieved 8 pots during one of the dives.

With a team working to clean up the beach as well as our Dive Against Debris crew, we managed to save the ocean from over 200kg of waste! It was great to team up with Coral cay Conservation and 4Oceans for Earth Day 2017!!
Some vehicle tyres and gas canisters that are below the surface are too heavy to bring up on these clean ups. We must aim to avoid these items making it to the sea in the first place. A bigger operation can be put in place to remove these bigger items.
A Montserrat flag!
coral is ripped out from its rooted position by the debris that moves in the waves. Too often is this a common find.

Saturday night at Mambo beach, Wet&Wild organized a party to celebrate 20 years. Great party on the beach however no one cares about the amount of plastic that was in the ocean all night.
Yes the following day they clean it up, it is too late though.
Local fishermen.
A lack of debris education in schools, on the island in general.
Locals need to understand how much they are damaging their lovely ocean and reef.
Tourist need to be more aware too.
We all together can make a difference, more dive shops should adopt a dive site.
