update

We are Tallying up the results of the recent clean ups...... I am disgusted! We will post results soon but a small sample in Grayton alone is shocking!

94 plastic bags
5 condoms
275 plastic lids
200 plus cig butts!
1 syringe
4 tampons

This is a small sample! Did I mention this is our beautiful Grayton beach!

I will post all when complete!

...and remember that every day can be a coastal clean up day. Help keep the beaches clean.

the Ocean Conservancy Beach cleanup was a success in Walton county. Our chapter managed the cleanup for the TDC, at 6 sites. We had 120 people turn out, and collect over 600 pounds of trash !!!!!!
I had the pleasure of giving away a gift card for van shoes to a 13 year old kid named Jimmy, who walked to the cleanup and did his part. That, thanks to the generosity of Don and Peggy Mall of Bra Ha surf shop, who sponsored the shoe giveaway. They also hosted two of our sites!
Atlanta Chapter camped at Grayton Beach state park, and became part of our cleanup effort there. Welcome surfrider Atlanta!
