Saturday, April 12 was the annual Adopt-A-Beach Spring Clean Up. Roxanne Ochoa led the local effort. Eleven volunteers (7 children and 1 adult) cleaned one mile of King Fisher Beach and Sunday Pass.

On King Fisher Beach, 12 small bags and a stack of boards (200 lbs. total) were collected. And from Sunday Pass, 10 large bags of debris (400 lbs.) were brought in by boat.

Unusual items found included a bottle or urine at King Fisher Beach and a bobble-head doggy toy from Sunday Pass.

Items of concern found were: bottle of urine!, dirty diaper wipes, syringe, and a large bag filled with oil-soaked rags.

The most collected items: 100’s of plastic beverage bottles and bottle caps from Sunday Beach and 100’s of cigarette butts and plastic pieces under one-inch in size from King Fisher Beach.

Thank you to all volunteers from Port O’Connor and Edna to grandparents visiting from West Virginia who brought their grandsons from Victoria!
Thank you to L’Roy Bell and Virgil Redding for supporting our local clean up efforts across Calhoun County.

Thank you to Daniel Gayle for providing hotdogs, chips, and bottled water for our volunteers (along with fresh oranges from his brother Steven’s tree in LaWard).
