Last night I headed to Rye, NH to volunteer with the Blue Ocean Society at their monthly beach clean up. We all met at Jenness Beach to conquer a beach sweep. The Blue Ocean Society organizes beach clean ups here each month and has been doing so since 2001. Before we all set off on our mission, Jen from BOC showed us a zip lock bag full of trash that was found in the stomach of a baby albatross to reinforce that we should clean up all trash, big or small.
As we swept the beach, we took diligent records of our findings including exact numbers of bottle caps, cigarette butts, etc so the BOC can continue to study the trends of marine pollution. At the end of our clean up we weighed the trash that we collect which equaled about 38 pounds! I want to thank all of the volunteers and the BOC for allowing us to help and keeping our oceans clean. See you at another clean up.
Here are some photos
