Removing Marine Debris in the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve, Rincón, Puerto Rico
February 25th 2009

Offshore Work Day #9
Today, Ivan Soto a local Rincoeño, Curt Malborn of Taino Divers, and Freeman Allen a resident of Isabela helped clean the reefs within the Marine Reserve and nearby areas. Before we got to work we had a 'towboarding' session on the outer fringing reefs of the reserve.
During towboarding we came across a young juvenile green turtle cruzing amongst the gorgonians.
After towboarding, we removed 12 tires, one of which was from the reserve, and the remaining 11 were taken from in front of the marina just outside of the 'little malibu reef.'
In addition to the tires, we removed an old derelict yola by cutting it with a saw and literally ripping it apart by the strength of three divers. Here is the before and after photos of the yola. We assessed it and began our work in this photo...
Here are the remneants of the yola on the starboard side, and bow of Pauco's boat.
Captain Pauco found our effort to be amusing, hence his laughter in the photo below.
At this time I wanted to thank all of volunteers for helping out in this coral reef restoration and marine debris removal effort!
