October 01: Today I participated in an Ecology Dive in Niles, MI that the Michigan U/W Divers Club, also known as the MUD Club, put on the the support of the Niles Municipality that supplied the dumpster for junk recovered. It started at 10:00 Am and ended around 4:00 PM when the judging was held. Prizes were given out for the Most Items Recovered, Heaviest/ Largest, Most Unusual item, and Who came the furthest away. This is only a small sample of the trash removed from the river. We did fill the dumpster and the trailer with scrap metal which went to the scrap yard and weighted ~ 1 ton. I think the pictures say it all 🙂
I could not have gotten all this up without ALL the good people providing shore support.
