Trash on the beach got you down? Want to make a difference? Participate in the Coastal Cleanup Day this Saturday, September 20, 2008.
Beach debris causes major problems for all animals, including discarded fishing tackle that harms birds and mammals. See x-ray of duck (above) with injested fish hook.
