Notes

Saw a small shoal of fish that seem to be living under the bridge. Couldn't see them well enough to identify them but they ranged in size from tiny to 3 or 4 inches long. Tried to photograph them but they fled as soon as I tried to focus.
No litter in the testing area, but there were a few cans and bottles upstream of the bridge. I cleared most but because the river is blocked under the bridge the water is deep there and I couldn't get to a couple of bits.
