 Saturday, September 21. 9 AM to Noon: California
Coastal Cleanup Day. Hold the date for this annual statewide-sponsored event
that happens every year in late September. Participants will
help rid shoreline areas of trash and debris, including tires that have
become stuck in the mud. Of special concern are the plastics that collect
along the shores because of the dangers they pose to wildlife. Trash
is a problem on our bay shorelines, at the mouths of many creeks and
around our lakes. Marine animals can be injured in two ways by trash
debris: through entanglement or by ingestion. Many types of sea critters
have been found stuck in plastic debris such as fishing lines, bags and
beverage container rings. Many animals will eat plastic, thinking it
is food. When an animal ingests plastic, the debris can block its intestinal
passage causing it to starve to death. Please bring your own bucket
to collect trash, and a refillable water bottle to cut down on the use
of plastic.
