Keeping it down to a roar

Keeping Brevard Beaches Clean For
Love of People and Animals

Patrick's AFB beach

 Another gorgeous Florida day.  Tuesday we drove North to the beach at Patrick's Air Force Base. 
In general Brevard County beaches look pretty darn good.  I'm meeting more and more people who tell me they are doing cleanups.   

Giving the beach the brush off!   We found a few of these on Tuesday.  

Trash in hand
from a foreign land

Two full bags of trash and a lump of rope was liberated from the beach in less than an hour.   Our lesson for the day:  a long time beachcomber told us that the ocean in Florida used to be 45 miles east of where it is today and that ancient horse teeth can be found along the shore.  

Mangled mess

Inside this mess I found the remains of a sweatshirt, frames for sunglasses, fish-netting, padding for a boat seat, lots of twisted, dried seaweed and yards of fishing line wrapped around everything.  I'm in the process of untangling it so I can pull out the fishing line and recycle it. 

Beautifully Dramatic Indialantic 

 Wednesday the Beach Hugger crew parked at 
Sunrise Park in Indialantic.  A storm out at sea had the waves churning.  Lots of junk was getting washed in.

Time for tea at the sea

We me a young mom cleaning up the beach with her tike and a gentleman who had done a cleanup earlier in the day.  Thank you!!
It takes all of us to keep the mess down to a roar!
Thanks for stopping by.


If it's within reach, please go hug a beach.
