By: Dive Friends Bonaire and NetTech, N.V. It had been a year since this stretch of shallows was last cleaned, and the group was able to process an impressive amount of trash that had accumulated during this time: 25 beverage cans, bottles, 9 cup lids, 2 pieces of clothing, 15 pieces of monofilament fishing line, 5 eating utensils, 8 pieces of plastic and rope, 2 automotive tires, as well as miscellaneous building materials, boat parts, and chemical light sticks. After the dive, all participants and their families were welcomed back for a Pot Luck BBQ—Dive Friends Bonaire and NetTech, the sponsors of the Bonaire cleanups, provided drinks and main courses, while participants supplied side dishes. All participants were rewarded with certificates of participation. Images from this cleanup are available online at the Bonaire Insider Photo Gallery at http://www.bonaireinsider.com/ The next quarterly underwater cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, July 10, 2010.
