Sara Cendejas-Zarelli, left, and Michael Sheldon of Lower Elwha Klallam Fisheries pull an abandoned shopping cart from the bottom of Port Angeles Harbor beneath City Pier on Tuesday as part of an effort to remove derelict crab pots and other debris from the water. The cleanup, held in conjunction with the Feiro Marine Life Center, utilized divers to attach ropes to refuse beneath the pier and a topside crew to hoist items from the water for later disposal.
