Last month, there were several sacks of building materials that had fallen into the water when the jetty was repaired. Yesterday, we turned the those sacks of cement into a fish shelter. Together with AMD-B's guides, Wanda (our Intern 2020), and boat crews we collected 7.2 kg of trash from the beach and 5 kg of trash from the sea. Also, we found about 12 cement sacks. We removed the wrappers, and we arranged them around the Jetty's pillar. While Inal and Wilan was still busy arranging the sacks of cement, the fish shelter had begun to be visited and inhabited by Giant frogfish.
