After the Rain Paddle Out Plastic Litter in LA Harbor

Details

This is your chance if you've been wanting to help clean up our aquatic playground after the recent rains. Join us Sunday, March 9 as we paddle out plastic in LA Harbor. We will launch from the Cabrillo Marina Boat Launch Ramp at 8:00AM. Look for our Paddle Out Plastic flags! If it takes you awhile to inflate your SUP or kayak or otherwise prepare to launch, please plan your arrival accordingly so we’re all ready to launch together at 8AM. We'll aim to paddle along the breakwater toward Angel’s Gate Lighthouse plucking trash from the water along the way, then return to the launch ramp by 11AM. We’ll cover a few miles, so do consider whether this is the activity for you based on your experience and skills.
Parking is ample and is $1/hour. Payment is only by credit card at the kiosk as you enter. Best to wear sunscreen (ideally reef safe), hat, sunglasses, and reusable gloves. Wear or have on board a life vest/preserver. Bring a reusable water bottle and your choice of tools for picking up stuff--a net, grabbers, tongs--and for toting it--bucket, laundry basket, bag. Whatever you have on board, though, be sure to tie it down. We don't want to add to what's littering the water.
Forecast shows very light wind in the morning (and that’s why we go out early), but weather and water conditions, even obstacles in the water, can always change. As with all Meetup activities, you accept responsibility and with kayaking/paddling, including picking up trash from the water, acknowledge potential dangers and fully assume all risks associated with participation.
And don’t forget to set your clocks forward!
