Did you divert from the predetermined 100 metres? 
Yes
If yes, please specify: 
The distance was previously calculated is 135 meters. It is now divided into two sections: STRENGTH 1: The actual 100 meter stretch that starts south of the bus cut and runs 100 meters north. STRENGTH 2: A distance of 35 meters which should not be north of stretch 1. The routes have been calculated separately and are reported in separate documents since 2016. In this document, the distance 1: 0 - 100 m is reported. RANGE 1: 0 - 100 m The counting is based on nine replicas of 1 meter. The entire route was first picked on large visible objects. The total amount of litter was calculated by multiplying the mean values of the replicates within each part distance with length of part. Then the quantities in the sub-sections were added to the quantities of large litter which was first picked along the entire route.
Did you find any stranded or dead animals? 
No
