EGM Network.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
From Studio A in Sunny Florida. Welcome to Beauty and
the Beach Radio, where it's all about who's beautifying Vero Beach.
Today's show is brought to you by Dale Sawrence in
Real Estate and here's your host and Glamour Girl makeup
artist Cindy Gets.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Hey, guys, welcome back to Beauty in the Beach Radio.
And so you get your host. It's all about his
beautifying Vera Beach. So you guys, grab your sunscreen and
your pair of gloves.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Today we're heading to the beach, but not for swim. Okay.
We're talking about protecting our coastline, our.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Wildlife, and our awesome community. We're talking about International Coastal
Cleanup Day. One of my favorite guests is here to
share how we can make a big difference in our
community simply by picking up what doesn't belong. So, because
this is radio, all right, we're going to have some
fun too.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
She knows this all.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
She knows I do Shenanigans. But in a minute, we're
gonna play a game. It's called Trash or Treasure. Okay,
so where we find out the weirdest things okay found
on the beach, maybe garb is it?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Is it garbage? Is it a gym? Or maybe something
I completely made up?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Okay, so trust me, you're gonna want to hang for
this and find out what is trash, what is treasure,
and what is a trick. So before we get started,
what exactly is International Coastal clean Up? If you live
in Florida, you should know all about this because we
are a coastal state. But the International Coastal Cleanup engages
(01:45):
people to remove trash from our beaches and waterways. Since
it's beginning in nineteen eighty six, great year, more than
eighteen million volunteers have collected more than three hundred and
eighty million pounds of track from our waters around the
globe a.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Blas ablas Alas.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yes, that's a lot of trash, and sadly, you know
there's applause there, but there is a sad part to
that that we have that much trash. Pollution is a
massive problem for our ocean, but small actions can make
a big difference. So my guests today are making that
big difference right here in Indian River County. I'm going
(02:28):
to introduce you to them right now. My first guest,
she is no stranger to beauting the Beach Radio. I've
seen her start her business. I've seen her get married.

is in the studio with us.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
She's initiating this little punkin pie. Please welcome founding director

Oh good, Well, let's dive right in.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So we're gonna be talking about international coastal cleanup.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
But I thought, you know, we'd start with a little file.
We'll do a little game. You guys, you can interact together.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's not gonna be pointed to one or the others,
so you can just answer together. Okay, you ready? I
think maybe ten ten questions. So trash okay.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It needs to be tossed.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Treasure means oh you can, maybe you reuse it, recycle
it maybe has a hidden value.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And then of course trick would be something maybe I
just made up.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
So you ready? Ready?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
There's ten? Okay, here we got first one. Maybe get
the you know my favorite button?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Ready? You know?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay, trash, treasure or trick game? Here we go Number one,
a flip flop with barnacles on it. Trash, treasure or trick.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Oh, that depends on who you ask, But I would.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Say trash, you say, depending on what brand it is?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
It does it happen afterlife? On the flip flop tree?
Is the question?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh I don't know, making this complicated.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
The barnacles were there, Yeah, it made me think trash.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Okay, this can be you can pluck those.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, and hopefully you'll find the other one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
So apparently, apparently flip flops make the top ten marine
debris globally.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Really flip flop.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
There is a really cool company that repurposes old flip
flops called Ocean Soul, and they make it into art.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh that's really cool. We got to look that up. Okay,
so that could be a.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Treasure, could be exactly, might have an afterling.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay. Second one, a message in a bottle.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
These are things you would find picking up a debris
on the ocean, A message in a bottle, trick, treasure
or trash.
Speaker 6 (05:14):

treasure in my mind.
Speaker 3 (05:29):

Her screensaver is the picture of a beach and a
bottle that had it looks like a message in the

Speaker 3 (10:11):
All right, you guys, well we are having some fun,
but we are seriously talking about something that is a
serious issue, and that's you know, pollution along our coast
and globally. But right here Kendra and Gina are making
a difference on our coast and here in Indian River County.
We're talking about their coastal cleanup Day, which is Saturday,
(10:33):
September twentieth.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Kendra, let's talk about what you have done, your latest stats.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You both can answer from last year, how many volunteers,
how many pounds of debris? Tell us about the success
of last year and what you see going forward this year?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
To pick it off for you, I'll kick it off.
But you you're the woman of the.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Status, all right, it's just to kick off this conversation.
It's been such a pleasure over the last few years
to watch how this event has grown and how well
or how excited our community has become around picking up
trash and beautifying this community, beautifying our beaches, keeping our
(11:19):
waters healthy and clean. And so the stats that Gina
is going to tell you are just astounding and just
so much hard work and so much passion and energy
that has been, you know, contributed by this community.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's why we love it so much, and it.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Really feeds our mission of helping sea turtles survive and
this is just such an important way to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
So it's been such a joy to be the local leader,
the local host of this major event every year.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
So I'm so excited for everyone to learn what our
awesome stats were this year, because our goal is to
kick those stats out of the water, right.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
We want to continue.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
To grow this event and hopefully get everybody in this
community be involved.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And Gina, before you share the most recent stats, I
will say, Kendrick, because we've had the pleasure of kind
of growing up together in this if you will, I
was looking at some of my past notes radio notes,
and you know you were managing less than twenty parks,
you had less than one thousand volunteers, less than two
(12:23):
thousand pounds of debris. So it's been fun to see
this starting to catapult. So, Gina and I'm going to
toss this to you now, the message in the bottle,
what are the latest stats? Where are you at now
and what do you hope to see this year for
the cleanup?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Okay, so all these stats are going to be for
last year's event. So as far as participation, we had
over eleven hundred, So eleven hundred and five registrants for
the event.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's huge.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yes, yes, it is huge.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, just sit on that for a second, Kendra, Gina,
that is huge.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It is a great, great job.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
It almost makes me cry every time, Like you're leading
up to the day and we're like, how many people
are going to be here? How many people are going
to be hearing hundreds of people sign up right before
the event, and you just when the numbers roll in,
we're like, this is incredible. We have full parks at
every park, like just tons and tons of people that
just show up ready to help.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Love love love love, So okay, so over eleven hundred
last year, eleven.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Five last year, okay, correct, So all of those volunteers
collected two thousand, six hundred and fifty three pounds of
debris individual pieces.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Are you ready for the number of individual pieces? Yeah, okay,
I do. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Thirty six thousand, eight hundred and eleven individual pieces of
trash were collected over the twenty two locations throughout the county.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well, first of all, I want to say, shame on
us for having thirty six thousand pieces that we didn't
pick up after ourselves. But okay, good for coastal connections
and I pick that up the volunteers.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Yeah, it is amazing, absolutely amazing. So our top items
you want to get it to top items?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I want to know.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
So our top items. The first one was pieces of
hard plastics. So this is going to include nanoplastics, microplastics,
and things maybe slightly larger than a microplastic. So eleven
nine hundred and thirty eight pieces of hard plastic. So
it's not going to include like, these are breakdown pieces,
So it's not going to include water bottles or anything
(14:34):
like that. These are pieces that have broken down, larger
pieces of debris that have broken down into swam.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
You give me one example of a large plastic broken
down that's part of this eleven thousand.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Yeah, so like water bottles, for instance, over time, they're
going to break down into microplastics, so they break down
into smaller bits of plastic.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Okay, and these are pieces that were collecting.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Okay, y gotcha.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
So the number two item, which is typically the top
item that we have annually between all of our cleanups,
with cigarette butts. So three and twenty three cigarette butts
were collected that one day that morning, two hours span
nine to eleven in the morning, we collected almost four
thousand cigarette butts.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That makes me speechless, honestly.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
At public parks, yeah, I don't even know what to say.
A lot. That is a lot we could do better.
We could do better. It is a community we could
do better.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, but I feel like there's a whole conversation there
we could continue on that can drive I want to
tackle that, but keep going, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
So the number three top item was plastic film, So
not including food wrappers because that's that was very close
to making the top five, but just pieces of plastic,
clear typically clear plastic.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It was something you would peel off of something like
a food item, our bottle label.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, a bag wrapper or like I say, if you
had a plastic bag that got chewed up and spit
out or something, or plastic bubble wrapper, that kind of Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
And again that's breaking down over time too. So two
four and thirty three pieces of plastic film the top four.
The fourth top item is bottle caps, so plastic bottle caps.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Two and one of those were collected last year.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
And then rounding up the top five is.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I imagine that's a choking hazard for a lot of
the marine life.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Is a cap right, should be ingested as long as
your mouth is large enough.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, shoot, okay, sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Gas okay.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
So rounding up the top five is foam pieces two
and twenty six pieces of foam like our broken boogie board,
broken boogie board, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You know, cups from the gas station, fountain, fountain.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Drink cups, sire foam breaking down over time. We saw
been a big influx of a foam after the tornadoes
last year too, which would have been after ICC. So
we've seen our quite a bit of foam in the
last year, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Wow, hmmm, I really want to I really want to
get into this, but for now, we just need to
focus on cleaning it up.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So those do you have any more of those? Of
your top five?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
That's the top five?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Hard plastics was one, cigarettes, two plastic film, three bottle
caps four and foam pieces five.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yes, wow, I want to ask.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And actually, Kendro, I'm going to go back to you
before we go to station break. You were saying, every
year you find this one item. What is that one
item that seems to always end up in your possession
after this coastal cleanup?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
The one item?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Well, I don't know if there's one particular item other
aside from the top five, but there is an interesting
award category that we have.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
For the weirdest side.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
It is okay, and we let the community vote on
the weirdest item, so every park gets to submit an entry.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
At last year.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Funny enough, the last year's winner was a toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Oh myka that I'm pretty sure there's a toilet and
end up on a coastline.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I'm pretty sure it was a toilet from a boat.
Oh okay, it washed ashore, but.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
It was at Riverside Park. Yeah, yeah, but a toilet.
And then the year before that was a refrigerator.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Door.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Oh my goodness, I just I just so, you don't
really know what you're gonna find out.
Speaker 1 (18:45):

Speaker 2 (00:09):
From Studio A in Sunny Florida. Welcome to Beauty and
the Beach Radio, where it's all about who's beautifying Vero Beach.
Today's show is brought to you by Dale Sawrence in
Real Estate and here's your host and Glamour Girl makeup
artist Cindy Gets.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Hey, guys, welcome back to Beauty in the Beach Radio.
And so you get your host. It's all about his
beautifying Vera Beach. So you guys, grab your sunscreen and
your pair of gloves.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Today we're heading to the beach, but not for swim. Okay.
We're talking about protecting our coastline, our.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Wildlife, and our awesome community. We're talking about International Coastal
Cleanup Day. One of my favorite guests is here to
share how we can make a big difference in our
community simply by picking up what doesn't belong. So, because
this is radio, all right, we're going to have some
fun too.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
She knows this all.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
She knows I do Shenanigans. But in a minute, we're
gonna play a game. It's called Trash or Treasure. Okay,
so where we find out the weirdest things okay found
on the beach, maybe garb is it?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Is it garbage? Is it a gym? Or maybe something
I completely made up?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Okay, so trust me, you're gonna want to hang for
this and find out what is trash, what is treasure,
and what is a trick. So before we get started,
what exactly is International Coastal clean Up? If you live
in Florida, you should know all about this because we
are a coastal state. But the International Coastal Cleanup engages
(01:45):
people to remove trash from our beaches and waterways. Since
it's beginning in nineteen eighty six, great year, more than
eighteen million volunteers have collected more than three hundred and
eighty million pounds of track from our waters around the
globe a.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Blas ablas Alas.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yes, that's a lot of trash, and sadly, you know
there's applause there, but there is a sad part to
that that we have that much trash. Pollution is a
massive problem for our ocean, but small actions can make
a big difference. So my guests today are making that
big difference right here in Indian River County. I'm going
(02:28):
to introduce you to them right now. My first guest,
she is no stranger to beauting the Beach Radio. I've
seen her start her business. I've seen her get married.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I've seen her now have her baby, which, by the way,
is in the studio with us.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
She's initiating this little punkin pie. Please welcome founding director
of Coastal Connections, Hendra Bergman.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Sindny, it's always such a pleasure to be here with you.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And you never change.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
No, no, you don't.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It looks at her she's still the same.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Monday, we're gonna have to do screenshots of all of
our radio Oh my gosh, wouldn't that be fun.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
It's scary.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's so scary.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
You brought along your coastal cleanup specialist. Please welcome first
time Gina kent Hi.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Thank you so much for having me. So happy to
be here.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I'm so glad she didn't scary away from the show.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
No, not at all.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
I expect some fun.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh good, Well, let's dive right in.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So we're gonna be talking about international coastal cleanup.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
But I thought, you know, we'd start with a little file.
We'll do a little game. You guys, you can interact together.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's not gonna be pointed to one or the others,
so you can just answer together. Okay, you ready? I
think maybe ten ten questions. So trash okay.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It needs to be tossed.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Treasure means oh you can, maybe you reuse it, recycle
it maybe has a hidden value.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And then of course trick would be something maybe I
just made up.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
So you ready? Ready?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
There's ten? Okay, here we got first one. Maybe get
the you know my favorite button?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Ready? You know?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay, trash, treasure or trick game? Here we go Number one,
a flip flop with barnacles on it. Trash, treasure or trick.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Oh, that depends on who you ask, But I would.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Say trash, you say, depending on what brand it is?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
It does it happen afterlife? On the flip flop tree?
Is the question?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh I don't know, making this complicated.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
The barnacles were there, Yeah, it made me think trash.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Okay, this can be you can pluck those.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, and hopefully you'll find the other one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
So apparently, apparently flip flops make the top ten marine
debris globally.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Really flip flop.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
There is a really cool company that repurposes old flip
flops called Ocean Soul, and they make it into art.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh that's really cool. We got to look that up. Okay,
so that could be a.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Treasure, could be exactly, might have an afterling.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay. Second one, a message in a bottle.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
These are things you would find picking up a debris
on the ocean, A message in a bottle, trick, treasure
or trash.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Well okay, well, considering this is my screensaver, stum, definite
treasure in my mind.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Okay for those of you listening to the radio, you
couldn't see her screen, but she has a on her phone.
Her screensaver is the picture of a beach and a
bottle that had it looks like a message in the
bottle sandwiched into the sand.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, so you would say that is Gina.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Definite treasure, definite treasure. Anyone there has out there has
not seen message in a bottle? Ken It's so good, Yeah,

they do turn a bunch of beach debris into art.
So I saw Barbie heads and their collections, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:53):

Speaker 3 (10:11):
All right, you guys, well we are having some fun,
but we are seriously talking about something that is a
serious issue, and that's you know, pollution along our coast
and globally. But right here Kendra and Gina are making
a difference on our coast and here in Indian River County.
We're talking about their coastal cleanup Day, which is Saturday,
(10:33):
September twentieth.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Kendra, let's talk about what you have done, your latest stats.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You both can answer from last year, how many volunteers,
how many pounds of debris? Tell us about the success
of last year and what you see going forward this year?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
To pick it off for you, I'll kick it off.
But you you're the woman of the.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Status, all right, it's just to kick off this conversation.
It's been such a pleasure over the last few years
to watch how this event has grown and how well
or how excited our community has become around picking up
trash and beautifying this community, beautifying our beaches, keeping our
(11:19):
waters healthy and clean. And so the stats that Gina
is going to tell you are just astounding and just
so much hard work and so much passion and energy
that has been, you know, contributed by this community.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's why we love it so much, and it.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Really feeds our mission of helping sea turtles survive and
this is just such an important way to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
So it's been such a joy to be the local leader,
the local host of this major event every year.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
So I'm so excited for everyone to learn what our
awesome stats were this year, because our goal is to
kick those stats out of the water, right.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
We want to continue.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
To grow this event and hopefully get everybody in this
community be involved.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And Gina, before you share the most recent stats, I
will say, Kendrick, because we've had the pleasure of kind
of growing up together in this if you will, I
was looking at some of my past notes radio notes,
and you know you were managing less than twenty parks,
you had less than one thousand volunteers, less than two
(12:23):
thousand pounds of debris. So it's been fun to see
this starting to catapult. So, Gina and I'm going to
toss this to you now, the message in the bottle,
what are the latest stats? Where are you at now
and what do you hope to see this year for
the cleanup?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Okay, so all these stats are going to be for
last year's event. So as far as participation, we had
over eleven hundred, So eleven hundred and five registrants for
the event.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's huge.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yes, yes, it is huge.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, just sit on that for a second, Kendra, Gina,
that is huge.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It is a great, great job.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
It almost makes me cry every time, Like you're leading
up to the day and we're like, how many people
are going to be here? How many people are going
to be hearing hundreds of people sign up right before
the event, and you just when the numbers roll in,
we're like, this is incredible. We have full parks at
every park, like just tons and tons of people that
just show up ready to help.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Love love love love, So okay, so over eleven hundred
last year, eleven.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Five last year, okay, correct, So all of those volunteers
collected two thousand, six hundred and fifty three pounds of
debris individual pieces.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Are you ready for the number of individual pieces? Yeah, okay,
I do. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Thirty six thousand, eight hundred and eleven individual pieces of
trash were collected over the twenty two locations throughout the county.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well, first of all, I want to say, shame on
us for having thirty six thousand pieces that we didn't
pick up after ourselves. But okay, good for coastal connections
and I pick that up the volunteers.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Yeah, it is amazing, absolutely amazing. So our top items
you want to get it to top items?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I want to know.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
So our top items. The first one was pieces of
hard plastics. So this is going to include nanoplastics, microplastics,
and things maybe slightly larger than a microplastic. So eleven
nine hundred and thirty eight pieces of hard plastic. So
it's not going to include like, these are breakdown pieces,
So it's not going to include water bottles or anything
(14:34):
like that. These are pieces that have broken down, larger
pieces of debris that have broken down into swam.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
You give me one example of a large plastic broken
down that's part of this eleven thousand.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Yeah, so like water bottles, for instance, over time, they're
going to break down into microplastics, so they break down
into smaller bits of plastic.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Okay, and these are pieces that were collecting.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Okay, y gotcha.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
So the number two item, which is typically the top
item that we have annually between all of our cleanups,
with cigarette butts. So three and twenty three cigarette butts
were collected that one day that morning, two hours span
nine to eleven in the morning, we collected almost four
thousand cigarette butts.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That makes me speechless, honestly.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
At public parks, yeah, I don't even know what to say.
A lot. That is a lot we could do better.
We could do better. It is a community we could
do better.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, but I feel like there's a whole conversation there
we could continue on that can drive I want to
tackle that, but keep going, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
So the number three top item was plastic film, So
not including food wrappers because that's that was very close
to making the top five, but just pieces of plastic,
clear typically clear plastic.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It was something you would peel off of something like
a food item, our bottle label.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, a bag wrapper or like I say, if you
had a plastic bag that got chewed up and spit
out or something, or plastic bubble wrapper, that kind of Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
And again that's breaking down over time too. So two
four and thirty three pieces of plastic film the top four.
The fourth top item is bottle caps, so plastic bottle caps.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Two and one of those were collected last year.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
And then rounding up the top five is.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I imagine that's a choking hazard for a lot of
the marine life.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Is a cap right, should be ingested as long as
your mouth is large enough.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, shoot, okay, sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Gas okay.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
So rounding up the top five is foam pieces two
and twenty six pieces of foam like our broken boogie board,
broken boogie board, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You know, cups from the gas station, fountain, fountain.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Drink cups, sire foam breaking down over time. We saw
been a big influx of a foam after the tornadoes
last year too, which would have been after ICC. So
we've seen our quite a bit of foam in the
last year, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Wow, hmmm, I really want to I really want to
get into this, but for now, we just need to
focus on cleaning it up.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So those do you have any more of those? Of
your top five?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
That's the top five?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Hard plastics was one, cigarettes, two plastic film, three bottle
caps four and foam pieces five.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yes, wow, I want to ask.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And actually, Kendro, I'm going to go back to you
before we go to station break. You were saying, every
year you find this one item. What is that one
item that seems to always end up in your possession
after this coastal cleanup?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
The one item?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Well, I don't know if there's one particular item other
aside from the top five, but there is an interesting
award category that we have.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
For the weirdest side.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
It is okay, and we let the community vote on
the weirdest item, so every park gets to submit an entry.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
At last year.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Funny enough, the last year's winner was a toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Oh myka that I'm pretty sure there's a toilet and
end up on a coastline.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I'm pretty sure it was a toilet from a boat.
Oh okay, it washed ashore, but.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
It was at Riverside Park. Yeah, yeah, but a toilet.
And then the year before that was a refrigerator.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Door.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Oh my goodness, I just I just so, you don't
really know what you're gonna find out.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, so you know what call to action guys.
