Warrenton Mayor Mark Kujala Unexpected treasures at beach cleanup By LYRA FONTAINE The Daily Astorian CANNON BEACH — Beach visitors who help clean up the shoreline may ¿ nd unexpected trea- sures, like the three glass À oats which washed up recently. They may collect bottle caps, small plastics and ground-up debris that appears to be from the Jap- anese tsunami. These are only a few things Tracy Sund, with the Cannon Beach Public Works Department, and volun- teers ¿ nd along the Cannon Beach shoreline. Cannon Beach will par- ticipate in the annual state- wide SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday Along with the unex- pected, volunteers can be assured a role in keep- ing the area’s shoreline clean and litter-free. Can- non Beach normally has several hundred volunteers for the spring cleanup. Last year, about 200 volunteers removed 4,620 pounds of trash. Volunteers “keep com- ing back” and bringing more volunteers with them, said coordinator Jeneé Pearce- Mushen, who supports vol- unteers, whether by provid- ing safety information or a pair of gloves. The cleanup, which aims to keep beaches healthy and minimize impact on marine life, covers the shoreline from Arch Cape to Ecola State Park. The most common items found on Oregon beaches are tiny bits of plastic and ciga- rette butts, which can nega- tively impact shorebirds and marine life, according to SOLVE. ® ACCUWEATHER FORECAST FOR ASTORIA Astoria 5-Day Forecast Tonight Rain at times 43° Thursday Shown is tomorrow’s weather.
