The Ocean Defenders Alliance have one goal in mind: to keep the ocean debris-free. This includes abandoned lobster traps, which are often left behind in the water after lobster hunting season.

On our way out we saw several small pods of dolphins chasing big schools of sardines, with cormorants and pelicans taking advantage by diving for the fish that came too close to the surface.
