Ocean Guardians: November 2011

"Litter in the Creek" animation

This great little animation demonstrates what happens when plastic trash gets into the watershed system. It's an endless cycle!

Area I Visit with Growing Solutions

We visited the "Area I" restoration site on the Goleta Slough next to UCSB. This restoration was lead by Growing Solutions and UCSB. Mark Holmgren joined us for a little bird watching along this incredible site.

Tidepooling at Arroyo Burro Beach

We went tidepooling at Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry's Beach) to learn about the health of the intertidal zone.

As an Ocean Guardian I pledge to…

…bring my own water bottle, mug, utensils and reusable bag.

…say ‘No Plastic Straw Please” when I dine out (even though they are fun).

…pick up at least 5 pieces of plastic pollution whenever I can.

…avoid using balloons

(even though they are fun).

…clean up the beach, park, or creek to leave it better than I found it.

…reuse or repurpose products to extend their usable life.

…engage family, businesses and co-workers to make this promise too.

For my community and my ocean.
