CALLING NEW HAMPSHIRE DIVERS! - Survey for New Hampshire In-Water Marine Debris Removal
NH legislature had passed HB 442 in 2023, which provided New Hampshire Fish and Game (NHFG) additional funds for a period of two years for in-water lost/derelict gear recovery, removal, and disposal.
To best utilize the legislative funds for these in-water cleanup events, NHFG will need to determine where best to concentrate in-water cleanup efforts with help from the fishing industry, diving industry, and other interested ocean users. NHFG would like to ask the dive community’s assistance in providing additional information leading to concentrated areas of in-water derelict trap gear.
Below you will find a short questionnaire and four maps of NH coastal waters. Fill out the questionnaire and mark on the map(s) where you have encountered derelict fishing gear. The survey and map(s) will provide NHFG with information in identifying areas of concentrated derelict gear.
Email Lauren Staples or Robert Atwood at Lauren.Staples@wildlife.nh.gov or Robert.Atwood@wildlife.nh.gov for questions!

POND DIVING - When the ocean is unforgiving.
Little Pond in Plymouth, MA offers an easy access for divers to get in and out of the water, especially when the ocean conditions are a wash. This site is best to do off season because of the beach that brings crowds after memorial weekend and parking fees back in effect. There isn't a whole lot to see at this site so divers use it as a training ground to test out new gear and practice skills. The bottom incredibly silty so buoyancy is key here.
There is some vegetation, rocks and logs that offer protection for the several variations of fish that reside here.
Depths: 51ft Max Depth
Entrance: Easy beach entrance
Parking: Free parking Labor Day- Memorial Day; Paid Parking Memorial Day- Labor Day ( $25)
Level: All levels
