North Jetty Beach Clean Up

CANCELED - TOO HOT THIS WEEKEND. WILL BE SCHEDULED AGAIN IN COMING MONTHS. 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.

Much of the litter here consists of discarded beverage containers, and we can usually recycle a good percentage of those.

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.

Note: it is not necessary to arrive at exactly 9:30 am (it can be hard to estimate exact arrival time because of ferry travel). Get there when you can. We work close by to the parking area, and it's usually easy to locate the group.
