The Right Weather for Cleaning Up Angel Island Beaches

After reading about Edward Stancil and Nick Reyna cleaning up the beach near Sequioa Yacht Club early in March, the Scott family shared a couple of photos from their own trash collection on the Bay, writing, “Our family also believes in trying to help clean up the Bay that we love so much.

“During the winter we have a custom of cleaning the south-facing beaches on Angel Island. Many of them can be accessed only from the water, and with the summer westerlies, can be hard to get to for six months of the year.”

The Scotts usually find a large amount of trash, and quite a variety, too.

Among the more interesting items they’ve found are dodger frames, adjustable outboard motor mounts, car bumpers, and tires — “lots of tires.”

They even dug an airplane tire out of the sand. “Airplane not found.”
