Trash Description

Seemingly decades worth of small plastic trash caught in the dense shrubbery along the east shore of the Great Meadow. It appears as though the plants are acting as a filter, catching trash as the tide changes. Much of the trash is small, hard plastic. Much of the plastic is easy to remove but gloves are needed. .

Remember to scout your site before you go out to ensure you know the conditions in real time.
