GANG ACTIVITY ON MAFIA ISLAND

Maybe Mafia Island doesn't have any mobsters. But there certainly seemed to be a lot of gang activity during our stay.

Fishing takes a village, at least around Mafia, whose waters teem with fish. The small boat above is filled with a gang of helpful islanders needed to set and retrieve the heavy nets used in the surrounding waters.

This group of plastic bottle caps, styrofoam and a lighter shows more of the work of the litter gang.
