While many celebrate the 4th of July by hitting the beach, the Surfrider Foundation has been preparing for what it says is the dirtiest day at the beach: the 5th of July. ‘Morning After Mess’ beach cleanups are happening throughout the county.
While many celebrate the 4th of July by hitting the beach, the Surfrider Foundation has been prepping for the dirtiest day at the beach. KPBS reporter Tania Thorne tells us about the ‘Morning After Mess’ beach cleanups happening throughout the county tomorrow.“Every single year, the 4th of July is the highest attended day at the beach, and as a result, the 5th of July is the dirtiest day," said Alex Ferran, San Diego’s chapter manager for the Surfrider Foundation.
"So year after year, we have been showing up at the beach on the 5th of July, no matter what day of the week it is and finding quite a mess," she said. Ferran said the pandemic didn't halt their clean up events and they were still able to organize volunteers."Last year, our volunteers found 1,500 pounds of trash in just two hours of cleaning and that was I believe only four sites that year," she said,"so it's definitely a busy, dirty day."
This year, there are seven clean up sites from Oceanside to Ocean Beach where volunteers can come help clean up from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
