Earth Day Dive

In honor of Earth Day last week, 4 divers carried on an annual tradition at Palmer Station of doing a cleanup dive around our pier. While they were under the water searching for things that didn't belong, a group of volunteers waited on the pier for their signal to haul up the netted bags of trash and to replace the full bag with an empty one. Of course, since this took some time, several snowball fights ensued. Overall, though, over 300 pounds of trash was pulled up from the sea and as many sea creatures as we could find were thrown back in.
