Hello Beach and Ocean People,
CINC troopers Marta Alvarez and Linda Taylor did a fantastic job in organizing 28 volunteers who picked up over an official 300 lbs of trash at Santa Clause Lane! Yours truly got a good workout gathering 153 lbs., which included 3 buried tires and 2 illegally dumped commercial buckets of plumbing drain sludge!
But most disgusting of all trash collected, and the one seemingly on the increase at beautiful Santa Clause Lane, is dog waste WRAPPED IN A PLASTIC OR DISPOSABLE BAG! Twenty two this year that still remained intact. Why don't we hear, from responsible dog owners, a cry against this sanitation stupidity and/or arrogance? Responsible parents have for a long time shamed irresponsible parents who leave dirty disposable diapers on the beach ( two found in comparison). Shauna, I have a couple photos. How do I send them on the rainlist? Still a beach bum, Paul. P.S. Surfers as a group were once the most notorious for trashing the beaches they frequented. CONGRATS TO THEM FOR GROWING UP! Take a look sometime at Rincon's Surfer Point park just east of Bates Rd Ventura/SB County line.
