June 11 was a good day to do a deep dive against debris. The team started with a dive down to 27m. Happy to say there was not much debris in the deeper columns. Most of the debris were collected on the way back to the shallower part of our adopted dive site. We managed to collect 6kg of debris comprised mainly of (you guessed it!) plastic. Sadly, we have collected a small dead crab among the rolls of plastic fragments. You may access the full report submitted to Project Aware here.
From 6 kg of debris to 3/4 of a 2L ecobrick.
We’re also happy to report that of the 6 kg of debris collected, we were able to stuff most of them to make almost one complete 2L ecobrick. Most of the debris in the ecobrick are fishing lines. This is our contribution to The Plastic Solution PH.
