Each month, Hike Bike Kayak holds a volunteer beach cleanup in La Jolla Shores to help keep our community clean of trash and debris. We strive to protect our local ecosystems and wildlife, while bringing awareness to the public about the high volume of trash on our beaches and the harmful effects it has on our environment.
Along with the heavy amount of foot traffic at La Jolla Shores during the summer months, comes the left behind plastic wrappers, bottles and caps, cigarette butts, soda cans, and unfortunately much, much more. Popped balloons are among the waste as well, which are left from birthday parties held on the beach and Kellogg Park. All of this can be very harmful to local wildlife, wounding or taking the lives of birds, fish, and other sea life.
According to San Diego Coastkeeper, volunteerism for local beach cleanups has steadily dropped in the past four years. Many people are mislead that La Jolla Shores is already clean and doesn't need our help, but it does!
Hike Bike Kayak can attest to that, filling 8 buckets full of trash and debris last Saturday, July 12th, at our La Jolla Shores cleanup. Please join us in protecting our environment and keeping our community free of littered waste!
