Beach Clean Up Finds this Week on the Strait of Juan de Fuca

Every time I paddle or do a beach walk, I pick up beach debris (trash)

Here’s the results of a casual beach cleanup while exploring Freshwater Bay west of Port Angeles, WA last weekend.

With NOAA Debris and most beach clean up orgs tied to federal funding losing much of their support, it’s out responsibility to take up the slack. Every day is Earth Day.

Paddlers can easily remove a large volume of debris especially on sea kayaks.

Found two of these in the same area

Plastic bits are common

These damn things are everywhere

We didn’t set this up!

Shoes are common, luckily no feet yet

Shotgun wads are very common.

Results of our second beach walk last weekend (each with a similar take)
