Trash Bash Beachside

Sunrise Park beach access, Indialantic

Keep Brevard Beautiful had their Trash Bash today from 8-noon.  We had a school thing, however, we did our own Trash Bash at the beach.  We spent about an hour and a half picking litter and picking shells.  

We collected about 2 lbs of trash and 12 cigarette butts.

Spring Breakers are here!  Lots of teens and 20 somethings were enjoying our awesome weather. 80s F 20s C. We're glad that you're here but please be good to our beautiful Florida beaches.  If you brought it to the beach please take it with you when you go, that includes cigarette butts!  Thank you, enjoy your stay.

Man O' War- pretty poison

Sadly we came upon a dead sea turtle.  We reported it to the Sea Turtle Preservation Society- 321-676-1701- call this number in Brevard county if you find distressed or deceased turtles.   Poor thing had no head.  I suppose some predator made a meal out of it.  Life in the wild can be rough.  I can't watch those shows where you see lions hunting zebras.  It's brutal. I feel horrible for the poor zebra but a lion has to eat right?  

I'm happy with my vegetarianism.

Care for an olive?

I recovered 9 ft. of rope, giving me a new total of......1195 ft or 398.33 yds.

You're Not From Around Here Are You?

KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN

FOR
LOVE OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS

Today was the sort of day we could have used a crowd of 'Beach Huggers'. Rough seas brought  lots of big chunks of plastic onto the beach and spread it everywhere.

 We were met by a cool breeze at the Fifth Avenue boardwalk in Indialantic this morning. 70 F, 20 C.  Lee and I collected trash for about 45 minutes and filled 4 tote bags.

Throughout the mess we discovered 38 ft. of rope.  New total: 900 ft. or 300 yds. Wow! That is exactly three American football fields since I began recording my rope one month ago.

Dishwashing PASTE?
You're not from around here
are you?

Just needs a little TLC
Now if only I could find the other one.....

We had to mind
what we reached for.
These highly poisonous Man O' War
were all over.

Sometimes the best solution is in
removing  the pacifier.
