First Ever Clean Shores Event- please read
This is a repeat from a post I put up on TTMB over 12-hours ago, with less than 75 views and not a single comment. I should have mentioned something about pizza or the weather instead of the enviroment- fishing or like post get more than four times the hits over here.Almost a year ago I rallied for support for the same issue http://2coolfishing.com/ttmbforum/showthread.php?t=180588 and realized then that much more organization was needed. Well here it is, thanks for checking it out!For years and especially post hurricane IKE I've been looking at the trash and refuse that has collected on the shorelines of our Texas shorelines. I feel like the Indian chief "Iron Eyes Cody" from that 70's era pollution commercial, with tears filling my eyes as I've run parallel to our shorelines. I am sick and tired of seeing it, all of it- five-gallon buckets, aluminum cans, plastic lawn chairs, laundry baskets, plastic bags, styrofoam cups, rope...etc. You get the picture and likely way too clear if you have been on the water in any of the bays here in Texas.I've decided to do something about it by founding Clean Shores, a grass roots organization backed by like minded environmentally conscious anglers of our Lone Star State. Our goal will be to rid the shorelines of refuse through voluntary bi-annual cleanup efforts, scheduled cleaning, seasonal shoreline conditioning and by providing public education for preventative measures.The organization is in it's infancy, a website URL has been reserved (www.cleanshores.org) and the first ever cleanup is planned this month in Port O'Connor on Saturday September 26th. A board of directors have been put into place, steps to incorporate into a 501(c)(3) organization have been made and some funds have already been donated by concerned sportsman.Our plan is to provide written material outlining our mission/cleanup effort and a plastic refuse bag to each boater launching from the chosen boat ramps. Our goal is to load flat bed trailers with the refuse collected by the boaters and dispose of the waste properly.All of the boat ramp owners/managers gave us a big thumbs up, several flat bed trailers have been made available and volunteers to man the boat ramps have been put into place. My boat and at least two others will be concentrating on the Mitchell's Cut and Saluria Bayou shorelines. If you are available on that day your efforts will be greatly appreciated.Additional monetary donations are needed to offset expenses of trash bags, refreshments for participants and the costs associated with disposal of the trash. Any unused funds received will be deposited into the Clean Shores bank account for use during our next round of cleanups being planned for March 27th. Hopefully with more participation other ports and coastal communities on the Texas coast will benefit from our efforts.Donations can be made directly through PayPal (use captlowtide@airmail.net for now) or by pledging an amount for every 100 pounds of trash removed and hauled to the landfill. I already have had interest in pledges from 25 cents up to $1.00 per hundred, any donation will be greatly appreciated.Feel free to contact me via email, PM or by cell phone at 361-564-7032 with any questions or comments. Looking forward to cleaning up and making a difference- Curtiss Date- Saturday September 26thTime- 6:00 am until 5:00 pmPlace- Froggie's Bait Dock, The Fishing Center and Clark's Marina
