Selfish & uncaring beachgoers

[passin thru]

I just walked this morning along the beach in Seagrove, from Greenwood to Eastern Lake & back, between 6:30 and 7:30.

I've never seen so much crap left on the beach overnight ..... chairs, tents, cans, bottles, cups, toys, fireworks trash.

I can't single out tourists -- could be full-time locals, part-timers, first-timers -- hard to know. I fear the perps will not likely be here on SoWal, tho, to hear my request that you be a little more considerate of your neighbors & of Mother Nature.

If you insist on bringing that much stuff down to the beach with you, just please take it with you when you leave, so we all have a shot at enjoying the beach... OK?

When I walk Sweet Pea on the beach, we pick up a lot of trash. Do all states have the 'Adopt a Highway' program? You volunteer and are responsible for keeping a specified area (highways, byways, roads, parks, etc) clean of trash and debris........we could implement 'Adopt a Beach' program, I suspect.

And the same people would pick up trash and the same people would leave trash.Trash breeds trash,trash comes from trash.

I know. It's rough seeing all that. This morning at BMB it was clear of "stuff" which was great.

Hang in there!!!

Not entirely. There were two plastic buckets and a plastic tube which was sliding in and out of the surf. A man picked up the tube and deposited it at the toe of the dune but the buckets remained. The oil workers touched none of it, and yes, I know that is not what they are paid for.

clarification ... the BSW beach patrol was cleaning up by the end of my walk ... it's some beachgoers' heads & hearts that're not hard at work, or they wouldn't dream of leaving so much crap laying around in the first place

We went to the beach to watch fireworks on the 4th and there were several volleyball nets left up. We could not see the ropes that were holding them up and one of my daughters fell over it. It is driving me nuts to see all the crap that is left. And, why is it that the BP workers get to leave their tent shell in place all the time? Do they not have to abide by the rules - I know stupid question to have BP and rules in the same sentence.
