Garbage Collected Along the Elwha, Sunday Oct 25th.


We walked up the Elwha River from its mouth on the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Sunday about a quarter mile, and collected a full bag of garbage. This section of the river is heavily used by fishermen, surfers, beachcombers, and has homes upstream, and also collects flotsam and jetsam from boats or other marine sources. The river's two dams will (hopefully) be removed soon, the largest dam removals yet in North America. We will continue to collect garbage every time we visit the river.
