A worldwide (for lack of better words) revolution where clubs, organizations and individuals around the world get together to clean up their beaches.
A group that I usually hang out with went to Kahekili Beach Park in Lahaina, Maui; However, I had to work in the morning, so I missed participating with them.
Instead, after I finished work, I went down to Kahului Harbor to the portion I call Section 1, to collect marine debris!
I had started at 11:55 am.
The wave action in Section 1 is much more calmer compared to Section 2. There was a slight overcast and I could see the rain clouds hovering over parts of Haleakala mountain. My Iphone said that the days temperature was 81 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind was a nice, calm breeze.

I finished my beach clean up at 3:20 pm and at the end I ended up with about 120 lbs of trash!
I had 3 trash bags full, 2 more plastic bags that I had found on the coast line was filled, plus my plastic trash bin.
There was also a metal drawer, two large slabs of plywood, ropes, nets, mono filament fishing lines and even a perfectly usable beach chair (which I kept).
It's pretty crazy out there at Kahului Harbor because you never know what you're going to find.

Thanks for your huge effort on Coastal Cleanup Day! We were at Venice Beach in CA and over 110 people collected 160 pounds total in 3 hours so your cleanup is really stunning!
