After a gentle night of rolling on the waves and through our dreams we woke to some light clouds that burnt away as the sun rose over the beautiful south west.
The boats all convened at Green Island main to revisit the kelp and seaweed patch that has previously been the site of much slimy rope and plastics both macro and micro. Green Island didn't turn up any strange or unique items but of course small pieces of rope and plastic were picked up in the 100's and 1000s.
The final number collected was 4,291 which is less than other years but could be down to the fact that this beach has been regularly cleaned each year for some time.
We then continued south around the rocks to Duck Hole. This was a beautiful walk and scramble along the edge of the island collecting all we could find along the way. The final count for this part of the coastline was 2,186. In 2018 we collected 38,100 from the same stretch of coastline.
