That’s a Wrap!

The 6th Annual Tacoma Shoreline Survey is in the books and while I don’t have any numbers to put out there yet, the volunteers were out in force and the amount of stuff that was collected was substantially more than I thought it might be. We’re just coming off of Earth Day and there have been a lot of beach cleanups around these parts over the past few weeks. It’s a little sobering to see how much is still embedded.

That said, it was a rousing success from the standpoint of community involvement, civic pride and the desire to preserve the delicate and incredible beauty of the place where we live. Thanks to South Sound Surfrider for their continued collaboration and to the volunteers who took the time to make a difference.

I’ll post the numbers here and on Instagram when the tallies are complete.
