Hurricane & Rebuilding of jetty

Radio & Wallet (I found the wallet's owner who was off island at the time, and even took her for a discover scuba experience when she came back!)

Threaded pipe

Bolts/screws

Off cuts


this used to be a thriving reef - since the hurricane it's turned into a trash dump - the boats that dock there, the construction people rebuilding the dock, no one will take responsibility for the crap they are clearly dumping onto the reef below the Jetty.
