 While Kahuku normally has larger pieces of ocean borne plastic and commercial fishing related items, there was a large concentration of micro plastics this morning so I got a chance to use my home made sand sifter ('Hand Picker 3000') for the first time in a while. This is painstaking work but is such a worthy effort since these smaller pieces are commonly mistaken by fish and other marine life as food. It's important to not worry about 'being perfect' and instead to just get as much of this as you can while leaving behind shells and other ecological artifacts. Mahalo and Malama 'Aina. Al Smith

Oh my! I never though that people could be so cruel and irresponsible to leave such a huge amount of trash in the ocean. This is the reason why I do not support people who got to the beach. I hate how they can easily leave their trash behind after they have fun. It pains me to see how irresponsible their acts are and how insensitive they are. They are not even thinking that their trash could be washed away to the shore and it could be harmful to the animals in the ocean. I am so glad that there are people like you who are willing to sacrifice your time and effort just to be able to clean up other people's mess. Leave a Reply. |
