Ocean debris is a menace to marine society!
The only thing that turns our frustration around is being part of the effort to get rid of it. And so, we did a few days ago when we did two dives that unearthed a plethora of debris. Come with us to see what we removed!
While the Santa Ana winds are wreaking havoc throughout California, one of the positive things that happens is the winds tend to make the ocean waves smaller.
So, we took advantage of the situation, and on Sunday, October 20th, a boatload of ODA divers and crew headed out to the Los Angeles Harbor breakwall to see what we could find along the outside of the wall.
What's better: Old friends or new friends?
We can't decide either! We love them both!
An old friend gave us the location of marine debris and new friends helped us remove it. Come meet them both!
