Litter bags provided by Padre Island National Park supports beachcombers to pick up trash as we stroll along the ocean’s edge. The bulk of the trash was plastic, with a random beach sandal, candy wrapper and beer bottle.
Truly, a LOT less litter than we have found previously, which is encouraging!
🐢 Park Ranger remembered the origami turtles I made for them years ago, when I gave them some again this visit.
The rangers and volunteers are HUGE in helping Kemp’s Ridley turtles (the most endangered sea turtle species) successfully hatch and release.
