Thank You to all who came out on Ocean Clean Up Day.

[mksmith713]

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to help clean up our oceans.
Special thanks to Bill from Earth Rehab and Liz from Jupiter middle school for organizing the clean up of Coral Cove park on Jupier Island.
I was nice to see so many young people participating locally here in Jupiter,Fl.
Our group, representing Earth Rehab (www.earthrehab.com) and Jupier Middle School Treehuggers, recovered way too much garbage.
My personal quest wasn't to walk and clean the beach but to recover garbage from the mangroves and seagrapes.
Beer and wine bottles, beer and soda cans, misc plastic wrappers and abandoned fishing line reigned supreme as I recovered well over 50 bottles and cans myself.
Cigarette butt? No sense even counting them.....way too many.
Makes me sad to think so many people regard our beaches as an ashtray.

You can make a difference.

Thank you Mike.
It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife.
Our specific goal of this cleanup was to remove open-ocean plastics from the sargassm
seaweed. (the cleanup happened at high tide).

Interesting, the following nite the Mean High Tide grabbed all of the newly cleaned seaweed and dragged it back into the Ocean for juvenile fishes and sea turtles to find safe habitat.

Our goal was complete, and satisfaction was felt for days. We really did make an Ocean of Difference.
