Hey ScubaBrett

Ocean Conservancy is having a coastal clean up on Sept. 19 so you may want to check them out.

Just to let you know you need to contact the authorities before you do this. It is illegal to remove any type of fishing gear from the water even if it is a ghost pot that looks like its been there for 10+ years. Great idea and good luck with the clean up.

I think you'll find enough trash to pick up and ladies to check out at either beach to keep you happy. Good luck.

They're having beach clean ups everywhere on the 19th.
My entire family is gearing up for a Jupiter Island clean up.
They also have folks out doing a clean up at Juno Beach the 1st Sat. of each month.
If I weren't so intently watching the little one at surfing school, I'd get more involved in that one.
As it is, my family is very eco aware and we pick up other folks garbage far too often.

I'd like to see an off shore clean up of the trash under the waves.
We should all don either snorkel or dive gear, walk down the beach into the surf and get moving on that.
I pick up crap (lots of beer cans and plastic shopping bags) everytime I go snorkelling or diving.

Just because you can't see it from shore doesn't mean it isn't there.
