Saturday, September 16h - Beach Sweep

 On Saturday, September 16th some members of WISTMP participated in the annual Ocean Conservancy Beach/River Sweep.  We concentrated our efforts at low tide along the Little River Jetty.  We covered the area from the jetty to the Dun Sound area of Waties Island. 

 




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The small ponds/lakes are back, at least you can see them now

We picked up the "normal" trash items and a few irregular things such as a boat spot light (heavy), siding, and this large black item we had to compress to get it to fit in the bag.  We stopped at Nest #6R to check and see if we could see the hatchling track, and we were in luck.
