Big shoutout to AWARE Week 2020! The water was very clear on this day. I went farther north than usual as all year the water there has been very murky and vis had been zero due to so much rain and runoff most of the season. I found SOOO much trash there I just could not remove it all. It broke my heart swimming back to the exit point and passing by so much trash that I just wasnt able to remove. Because of the virus the debris I have removed this season until today for the most part had been random stuff that I typically find all year rather than the usual "beachgoer" related stuff I usually find in late summer and fall as people had not been visiting the beaches as much. Today however many of the debris items found were fresh/new and obviously things people on the beach or nearby pleasure boating had discarded and/or lost.
