Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge Clean-up

Hi folks!

This past weekend was quite an eye opener, as I volunteered to clean-up a stretch of Virginia coastline on Assateague Island. I picked up six bags of trash, nine tires, and a bunch of chemically-treated lumber. The number one thing I found on the beach?



Balloons.

The saddest part is the amount of marine wildlife that die as a result of garbage:




On a lighter note, it's great to see that Ocean Conservancy found so many other volunteers around the world to make a difference last weekend:
