3B THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 2017 Estuary cleanup garners 3.37 tons of debris ENGAGEMENT The Daily Astorian Submitted Photo/Photo by Judith Jones Volunteers and CARTM Staff sort materials at Wheeler Waterfront Park during the 10th Biennial Nehalem Estuary Cleanup. WHEELER — On March 11, more than 170 volunteers lent a hand during the 10th Biennial Nehalem Estuary Cleanup. Volunteer duties ranged from removing debris from the mud and high tide line, sorting through trash and recyclables, helping with set up and take down and throwing the cele- bration dinner. Participants pulled 2.66 tons of trash, 1,369 pounds of recyclable and reusable material, and 60 pounds of hazardous/potentially hazardous mate- rials from Nehalem Bay — totaling 3.37 tons of debris removed. Items included 44 tires, 284 shot- gun shells, 22 shoes (including one pair), one kitchen faucet, 29 balls, seven 55 gallon drums, half a Jeep grill, one BB gun, and for the second event in a row — a genuine message in a bottle. The cleanup was held by community partners Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Lower Nehalem Watershed Council, CARTM, Nehalem Bay State Park, North Coast Land Conservancy and Tilla- mook Estuaries Partnership, with support from vol- unteers, local business and community members. In recognition of those who have participated in the Biennial Nehalem Estuary Cleanups, Gov. Kate Brown proclaimed March 11, 2017, to be Estuary Cleanup and Awareness Day. The procla- mation encouraged all Oregonians to celebrate the importance of Oregon’s estuaries, and the work being done to protect and maintain this critical habitat.
