Coconut Point Cleanup

KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN
FOR LOVE OF PEOPLE 
AND ANIMALS

Low tide and high temperatures(83F 26C) greeted us at beautiful Coconut Point Park in South Melbourne Beach today.

If you're in the area any first Saturday of the month, consider joining the Sea Turtle Preservation Society for a beach cleanup at this location. They meet at 8am.  They even provide bags and gloves.  Help keep the beaches clean for the critters.

Flotsam Francais


Little piece of Canada in the Florida sand



Debris on the beach is bad for all involved, however, I did get  excited when Lee discovered this pizza car from Canada (my homeland).  I still remember the company's jingle from way back when I was a kid.. 9-6-7, 11 11, phone Pizza Pizza, heyy, heyy!
One of two totes, loaded to the gills
Great find!
Then there's the rest of the junk.  Two full totes of broken plastic, bottle caps and mystery trash along with 39 ft. of rope.
We broke the 1000 ft. mark!! We have now collected 1031 ft. of rope.  That's 343.66 yds. eliminated as an entanglement issue for marine animals.

Thanks for vsiting.
Merry Christmas, Happy Channuka, happy whatever you celebrate.


This holiday season,
Raise a glass
Drain your mug
Get to the beach
Give it a holiday hug





With hope and dedication these beaches will not
one day be covered in 'wall to wall' debris
