Gallery - Jennycliff Bay Underwater Clean-Up, September 2021

This was the first, experimental underwater clean up using volunteer divers from the Plymouth Sound branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club. The divers recovered 49 tyres from locations found previously by side scan sonar survey, then took them back to the barge for temporary storage.

Thanks to Plymouth Sound Divers for their support.
