Hooked on cleaning

Gorgeous Florida skies 

 An evening beach clean up for a change. On Sunday my partners in grime and I were treated to beautiful sunset skies.

The cruelty of improperly discarded fishing hooks and line is horrific. We picked up this hook and line at Ocean Ave., saving someone from having a foot skewered or a bird from having it pierce a wing or beak.  It can mean a slow and horribly painful death to a bird.  The line can become wrapped around legs and wings. These items can be recycled at bait and tackle shops.  Many boardwalks have white recycling tubes for hooks and line.  Please use them for everyone's safety.
It's not hip to litter

Why buy new when used will do!



Monday we hit 5th Ave.  in Indialantic. We were greeted by a                      beautiful cool morning and lots of junk.
It would be chewy to an animal- not in a good way
Big stringy carpet mess 


Anything clear and plastic floating in  
the sea looks like a 
jellyfish to a sea creature
Not a barrel of fun




A barrel washed up at Fifth Ave.  full of some unknown liquid.
This kind of plastic will break up at sea, the chemical will spill out into the environment and plastic pieces will end up in animals and on the beach.  Too heavy for us, the beach patrol came to pick it up. 
Thanks for stopping by, now go hug a beach. :0)
