North Jetty Beach Clean Up (canceled, next clean up 4/26)

NOTE: THIS 3/22 CLEAN IS CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS. NEXT CLEAN UP WILL BE 4/26.

The Houston Group has adopted this unique stretch of beach as part of the "Texas Adopt-a-Beach Program". The North Jetty is a popular fishing, crabbing, and birding spot on the Bolivar Peninsula just south of the Audubon Society's Bolivar Flats Sanctuary. The jetty itself is an impressive structure that provides a great vantage point for observing seasonal bird activity. Because this site is heavily used, trash and litter have been a problem. Much of the trash, such as discarded fishing line and plastics, are hazards to area wildlife. But our efforts here are making a difference.

The ferry crossing to Bolivar is usually a great opportunity to observe dolphins and brown pelicans. It is interesting to visit the jetty in different seasons. Further details will be emailed to participants.
