Grandpa Goes Green
To call attention to pollution in the oceans, the rangers and volunteers at Cabrillo National Monument collected trash gleaned from the tidepool area within the National Monument boundaries over a period of a few weeks. Here we are sealing it in a cage to make the point that conservation of our world resources starts with each one of us. Pay attention, Grand Kiddles. We're leaving you a mess! (The guy in the canoe is not a park ranger. He is a researcher actually in the one of the patches out at sea, from a stock photo. Some of the patches consist of microscopic particles of plastic, so clean-up is VERY difficult!)
