REPORT: June 18, 2010 - Friday - 3pm

OBSERVED: fair - clean

COLLECTED: seaweed, sand


It was all T. OCEAN's idea to go out to the beach while the heat of the day maxed out (3:00). The dry sand close to the dunes was scorching hot. The sea absolutely warm and clear though thankfully refreshing. Plenty of fish swam near us, and only a small amount of plastic was found scattered up on the shore. We played in the sand intermittently, then cooled off in the small waves. Summer on the beach.

REPORT: June 5, 2010 - Saturday - 4pm

Observed: fair - clean; some trash on shore, water clean; strange orange and green foam bits along shoreline; above-normal amount of soft sea sponge along shoreline

Collected: seaweed, sand, sea sponge of various shapes, shell pieces, orange foam bits, and a small pile of trash (fishing wire, plastic cups and bits, drink pouches, broken plastic bottles)


Green Flag! The swimming was awesome with a light chop, clear water, 79 degrees. T. OCEAN felt comfortable enough to hold his own and would make little swims into waves on his own. Every time a big wave came and hit him, he would exclaim, "that was so much fun!". The bright orange (and some green) foam bits are odd and disturbing since they were trapped in seaweed up and down the shore line.
