Mile 293 - Rockaway Beach, State Wayside - April 10, 2010 | Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition

Report Details

I have never seen so much plastic debris EVER on Rockaway Beach. We walked south of our house (Mile 293) to town this morning and picked up what we could and met a couple who had filled two garbage bags. There were plastic water bottles, caps and lids, styrofoam, large plastic containers, and tons of ground up plastic; all of it appeared to have been in the ocean for some time as it had brown on it. After dinner we walked north (Mile 294) and found the same thing. We put two garbage bags of bottles and lids in our garbage can, but we barely made a dent in the remaining debris.

I observed new signs in Rockaway city proper, restricting using the public access to the beach at 1st and 2nd Avenues. Sign reads NO ACCESS: Until further notice, all city owned paths, walkways, stairs, and any other improved or unimproved access ways to recreation areas are closed.
