Re: What can happen -beach clean up

Muddy, that was a stunning accomplishment, started by a very articulate and resolved young man. I read a little about the turtles and it sounds like just one, possibly two nests that hatched since there were just 80 hatchlings, but there will likely be more in years to come.

It seems that the source of the waste comes from 9 creeks and 1000s of storm drains that feed into the mouth of the river to the beach. There is now an effort to teach people not to dump trash into the waterways.

It just shows that a little initiative can go a long way.

Thanks; most encouraging!

Brilliant! If Countries like India are cleaning up, the oceans might just stand a chance.
