During this project, did you find that there was more debris on one side or part of the beach then another?? If so why do you think this is ??
What is being done with everthing that is being collected??
Great Data,
Can you determine from your data the amount of debris/sq meter and estimate how much of the beach front may be exposed?
Ps
Yar, photos and pod casts are awsome!

Answer:
Our experiments with Marine Debris was not so much about the total
amount of debris, but the different types. We record in seperate
categories, such as plastic bottle caps, plastic bottles, glass bottles,
oil/gas containers, metal debris(such as boat parts), plastic utensils,
and many more. So to answer your question, we weren't really trying to
get the amount of debris/sq. meter or anything like that, but more like
which types of debris are the most common, and which are the least
common.
