how do you typically transport all the trash, from the field to shore? glass in particular. as the lake is full of broken bottles that are somewhat hazardous to collect inside of a confined boat.

Onion bags and I've never had one tear open.

I will be putting a large tote in the back of the boat that all the trash, I mean urbane treasures, are going in for transport back to the docks.  The tote is just one of those cheap ones you can purchase at Walmart.

so let me understand this. the LMCA will dispose of the garbage once it is raised. divers wont be responsible for disposal.
also what do you do if something interesting is found. say an anchor/fishing lure/ odd bottel etc. is that then property of the LMCA or is the finder free to take with at the end of the event.

also on the website they say hundreds of divers will be at this event. how many typically show up?

You find it,you keep it.They get rid of all the trash collected.
