Description
Bottles, wrappers, cigarette butts, used batteries.
You name it, it’s cluttering our coastline after all the rain. It flows from Tijuana and from storm drains all over San Diego directly into our ocean and onto our beaches.
Lillie Mulligan is with Wild Coast, working to conserve coastal and marine ecosystems. She says the coastline from Tijuana and through San Diego is the most trashed she’s ever seen it.
“I cannot go a day on the beach without seeing microfibers from plastics on the sand. It looks like almost confetti was thrown over the beaches," she said. "This seaweed is washed up ashore. There’s critters in there. Seagulls want to eat out of that, but look, it’s covered in trash.”
