We are continuing to build our data base of marine debris images here at COASST. As of today we have collected 3,972 images thanks to all of your help! We are on our way to reaching our goal of over 5,000 photos so keep the photos coming. We are looking for images of any marine debris, large or small, common or unique. The photos can come from any beach, not just your COASST beach. Next time you head on to the beach remember to grab your camera and photo ruler. You never know what you might find!
Here are just a few of the things we’ve seen recently:
Plastic throat from a fish trap found in the Pribilof Islands in Alaska
Small mesh net found in Washington
Small mesh net found in Washington
A glass rolling pin float found in Oregon
A husky bowl found in the Puget Sound (we couldn’t resist sharing that one!)
