Plus Four Days... Beach Trash Report, Sept. 21, 2016

Dateline: Wednesday morning, Sept. 21, 2016, Santa Monica Beach from the Pier to Ocean Park.
Re: Heal The Bay Coastal Clean Up Day (09.17) plus 4 days of trash on the beach from the water line to the berm that continues to not be collected and disposed of by the City of Santa Monica.

The Photos:

Good From Far... But alas Far From Good!... 

From the back of the beach, it sure looks nice and clean on the soft dry sand... where the City tractors towing their rakes clean the beach.....



But once you get below the berm and down to the water line IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY ALTOGETHER!...  Think TRASH and lots of it!... that does not get collected and disposed of by the City.




In front of and adjacent to Lifeguard Tower #16 next to the pier I found three (3) empty and discarded bottles of CORONA beer, as well as an empty wine bottle!...










Below, this paper bag was there yesterday as well...






Further along the beach just below where the tractors rake the beach, I found another empty bottle of CORONA beer...




It was a beautiful morning on the beach in Santa Monica... to bad the City doesn't clean up the trash between the water line and the berm...



This shoe, below, was there yesterday as well.....





A stunning morning, indeed.  The beach is significantly cleaner once you get to Ocean Park at Lifeguard Tower 26.....


And here are the discarded glass bottles that I collected to be discarded since the City does not do it...
