Part of the project of cleaning the cave was conducting a forensic study on the totality of the materials inside. As each geographic location has its own character, each beach cleaning creates a portrait of that location, its culture, its industry, its values. The contents of the sea cave create a similar story. The following are the total tallies of each and every individual plastic object that was taken from the cave.

1310 pieces of Styrofoam (polystyrene), ball-type, white or black

320 PETE plastic beverage bottles

118 pieces of compressed foam, insulation, packing and aerosol, turquoise and yellow
