This year was again a great success due to the wonderful enthusiasm of all the people who turned up to participate.

Here are some images from the California Coastal Clean Up Day event at Montara State Beach and Grey Whale Cove.

42 Volunteers (many kids as well which was great) turned up on Saturday from all over the Bay Area, some even came from as far as the East Bay, to help collect over 600 lbs of trash from Montara Beach, the bluffs, Grey Whale Cove and the roadside along Highway One.

Along with the usual collection of plastic bottles, bags and hundreds of cigarette butts and a sofa the most unusual item found was a Smith & Wesson .40 shell casing from a hand gun, creepy.
