Beach Clean Up a Success

Lots of families showed up for the cleanup.

Rodney McCoubrey local Environmental Artist and founder of Fish for Thought.


Troop 1177 brought in a bunch of trash and had the pleasure of watching Rodney build a fish in front of them.

This fish was made by Rodney and later given to Bob and Jan Rogers for their effort in organizing the beach clean up. Every bit of the trash came from that day. The Smash Ball paddle was brought up in one batch and the ball (used for the eye) was brought up in another.

This fish was made by trash brought up by Browny Troop 1177.

Stats:
187 lbs of trash.
66 Volunteers
29 lbs of Recycling
Most unusual find... Rodney

All and all a great day.  We all pitched in, cleaned up and surfed afterwards. Thanks to those who showed up and thanks to those of you who pick up every day on your way back from surfing. Every bit counts and I'd have to say it shows that our locals care about their beaches. We are blessed with some of the cleanest beaches in the county.
