    "We really need the community to step up and help clean Main Beach, especially after Memorial Day. Today we found two dead sea birds, a dead sea otter pup along with what we regularly pick up, numerous cans, food packaging waste and cigarette butts."

On Thursday the 28th of September, members of the City of Watsonville, The County of Santa Cruz, The Trash Talkers, Watsonville Wetlands Watch, and Watsonville Works came together to clean up over three miles of Lee Road and West Beach Street.

Special Thanks to John Moreno from the City of Watsonville Ramon Gomez from Supervisor Filipe Hernandez’s office, Sally-Christine Rodgers of the Trash Talkers, Jonathan Pilch of Watsonville Wetlands Watch, and the teams from Watsonville Works for their participation.

Multiple hypodermic needles were collected. These are harmful to wild life, are in our watersheds and washing into our National Marine Sanctuary.
