Paddle Out Plastic in Los Angeles Harbor


Details
Join us Saturday, May 10, to get on the water and make an impact, too, as we paddle out plastic in LA Harbor. We will launch from the Cabrillo 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 paddle along plucking trash from the water and looking for plastic puddles building up in the Harbor. We'll return to the launch ramp by 11. For folks who are up for it, we’ll grab lunch a short drive from Cabrillo.
Parking at Cabrillo Boat Launch 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.
We will cover a few miles. Weather and water conditions, even obstacles in the water, can change from day to day and hour to hour. 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.
