They stowed buckets and gloves in their cars or in the bushes. We eventually moved them to my garage afterwards. Congratulations to 2 of our Mussel Rock Stars, […]

Our March 21 monthly Linda Mar Beach cleanup started out as usual- a little chilly, lots of surfers, but with a heavy mist that soaked everything we put out on our PBC table. But at 9 AM, not only did peeks of sunshine start to warm the beach, so did the likes of 3-5 year-olds and their parents from Brighton PreSchool! […]

Park Mall is getting quite trashed again, especially around the perimeter of the property. This is important because the entire property drains into San Pedro Creek at a very delicate habitat area.
