First Ever! Clean up at Navy Beach

Kim Masoner <kim@saveourbeacgh.org> is calling All Hands On Deck For 1st Ever Public Navy Beach Cleanup this Saturday – February 12th ~ 8:30 to Noon – Please rsvp to kim@saveourbeach.org or (562) 884-6764

The Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station has kindly invited us to assist with their 1st ever public beach cleanup. This cleanup will be different from any other cleanup we’ve done because we will be using rakes to pile debris and then use shovels to put debris into trash cans and the Navy’s amphibious vehicle “the gator” will take trash cans to the dumpster to empty.

There is tons of trash on the beach and we will be picking up everything (unlike our normal cleanups where we leave natural debris). And if you happen to come across clear plastic bottles or aluminum cans, we will keep those separate so I can recycle them. If you find Capri Sun juice pouches, old cigarette lighters, any kind of balls, sand toys, baby bottles, sippy cups or other items I call “treasures” (something someone else might be able to use), please keep them separate and I’ll collect them at the end of the day. (You can put them into one of our reusable bags).

Join us any time between 8:30 a.m. and Noon to help restore this beautiful isolated beach habitat that has become choked with litter and debris from winter storms. This area is a national wildlife protectorate and provides crucial foraging habitat for a large number of migratory and resident waterfowl and shorebirds.
