Description: NORTH JETTY BEACH CLEAN UP

Saturday, January 28, 2012 10:00am-1:00pm Boliver Jetty

The Houston Group has adopted this stretch of beach as part of the Texas
“Adopt-A-Beach Program”. The North Jetty is a popular fishing, crabbing, and birding
spot on the Bolivar Peninsula just south of the Audubon Society’s Bolivar Flats
Sanctuary. Because this site is heavily used, trash and litter have become a
problem. Much of the trash, such as discarded fishing line and plastics, are hazards
to area wildlife. From Galveston we will take the ferry to Bolivar, watching for
birds and dolphins on the way. After the clean up, those interested can visit the
Bolivar Flats Audubon Sanctuary or Anahuac NWR depending on the route back to
Houston. Return to Houston by late afternoon. We may have a rendezvous point for
those wishing to carpool from central Houston. For meet up times and complete
details, contact Frank Blake, frankblake@juno.com.
