Madonna University came out to lend a helping hand on June 1st, 2012. This trip was the first since Moss Point High School which went out on May 11th, so needless to say, I expected quite a load of trash and was ready for a day full of debris!
Tarps...
Tables...
And Boat Seats... OH MY!
We headed out to Deer Island to clean up site #1 and ended up pushing through into site #2 as well; both sites are located on the North side of Deer Island. We cleaned up everything from plastic bottles, caps and aluminum cans to loads of duct tape, boat seats, tables, propane tanks and inner tubes!
Another clean up day, more and more trash! This was one heavy load, we collected a total of 655.21 lbs! This total included an estimate on the weight of a huge piece of wooden debris that the students so diligently loaded onto the boat and was too large to move to the weighing station!
These students and teachers are a part of a service learning group that came down for the College Field Program to check out the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory and help us with ongoing projects. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! I hope to work with your school again soon... keep it green!
