Ocean Pollution
Seal Beach Art Project - well, not quite.
Well, it’s not quite art. But after a recent storm, here’s what Seal Beach, California looked liked, complete with shopping carts, a couch, dead fish and other horrid crap that was deposited on the shore after a recent storm there. The story, as first reported here by the OC Register, explains that “the San Gabriel River, which flows from south Los Angeles County to Seal Beach, picks up debris along its 75-mile course and dumps it into the ocean.” The next storm picks it all up off the ocean floor, and surfs it on to the beach. It’s totally, absolutely nasty. And a good reminder that people in land just don’t care what ends up in the ocean. The good news is that the folks at the Surfrider Foundation are helping out with the clean up.
