It's a shame more folks don't take care of the packaging choices and disposal of goods than they do. All we can do is continue to highlight what we are doing to save our seas and invite others to join us! Thank you Project Aware for supplying us with this international platform!
2 major water run offs from inhabited areas of the island lead direct to the beach, following the heavy rain and storms, the ghauts (gullys) were clearer and the reef was littered with heavier objects, the rest having drifted further out.
After almost 1 year of Dive Against Debris and Beach Clean Up's on our Adopted Dive Site, Charley and the Montserrat Island Dive Centre team are starting to feel like people are listening, more volunteers are coming involved and the team have been invited to continue educational activities with school groups!
The colony had moved in to make a protective home in the trash

The 2 largest debris encountered was plastic (from any tourist boat I guess) and Fishing line and net (from fisherman boat that hang around probably)
As we were 9, we built up 3 different team to cover a large area and we haven't find that much Debris compare to last year. Less Debris or more everyday work from every divers for collecting debris, I wouldn't be able to say.
From now one, I'm planning on running a dive against Debris every month on this specific dive site to see the evolution.
We found an electric switch.
Rainy and wavy (average of 1.8 meter waves the all week)

Plastic bottle, everybody should be aware to not throwing anything from the boat
Fishing line are found way to lose from the shore where the coral are still fighting to live
Fishing net, this area have a lot of staghorn coral from which one it's very hard to remove fishing net.

This is a drift dive site that gets alot of debris stuck on the corals. Even though the main substrate is sand, most of the debris gets tangled in the corals.

It is fairly hard to measure the number of fishing lines. We end up weighing it most of the time and deviding it into an estimated weight of a fishing line. There are so many small pieces that we pick up as well as very long ones that run for over 100m... We have collected 1,5kg of fishing line and 3kg of fishing nets on this dive.
T-shirt
We released the hooks from the fish and the fish swam off, slightly injured but most likely will survive.
Some smaller waves and some rain.
