It was a gorgeous day to be out on the beach to do some spring cleaning. We had three vehicles packed with Volunteers and we traveled from the Hog Inlet end of the island all the way up to the jetty, including the backside of the jetty.
With the LOA/Leads and Volunteers we had about 20 participants. We did have two of our new volunteers with us, so they got to experience the Waties Island magic. No big surprise to most of us who walk the island our big trash contenders are Balloons, Balloon ribbons, plastic bags and other plastic waste and sunglasses.
We were lucky to see the horses out on the beach today along with familiar beach critters - especially those pesky ghost crabs - they survived the cold winter!
From the Little River Jetty area we could see the dredging work that is being done across the waterway to that small spit of land that belongs to South Carolina.
Our findings will be reported to the Ocean Conservancy via our South Carolina representative.
Many thanks to our drivers - Steve and Kathy - all of the Leads that showed up and assisted with the volunteers, and lastly our dedicated volunteers who always support these efforts.
