Basic Cleaning
On the 10th February the Little Cayman ICON station received its first cleaning of the year starting with the chains, lines and post. The condition was surprisingly good with a low amount biological growth for the amount of time without cleaning. The underwater equipment received a check over and wipe down but did not need scrubbing since everything was replaced a couple of weeks ago. Everything seams to be in good working order.
