Beach Cleanups - Big Success!

This past weekend Surfrider Newport and Portland Chapters participated in SOLV's annual Spring Beach Cleanup by captaining 3 different area cleanups on the north and central coast (South Beach State Park, Lost Creek State Park and Gearhart State Park. Volunteers from all over Oregon participated in the cleanup efforts. South Beach and Lost Creek had a combined show of over 200 volunteers and 100s of bags of trash. Some of the odder finds: boat hull, truck liner, 5 gallon container of diesel still full (pictured), 12 foot floating dock! Big thanks to all who participated and special thanks to Abby McCarthy, Joe and Jes Haxel, Noelle Saint-Cyr and Andi Bernard for captaining our sites!
