Ocean Guardians: October 2012

Creek Cleanup at HBP

We spent the afternoon surveying the creek downstream from HBP and picked up quite a bit of trash. This was on October 25, 2012.

Creek Water Qulaity Testing Upstream

We tested the quality of the water upstream near the "headwaters" of the Maria Ygnacio Creek at Bjorklund Ranch on October 20, 2012.

Pacific Mole Crab Study

We continued to study the Pacific Mole Crab at Goleta Beach on October 18, 2012.

We tested the quality of the water in the Maria Ygnacio Creek behind HBP on October 4, 2012. There was a strange amount of water flowing in teh creek even though it had not rained. Probably from some agricultural runoff.

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.
