There weren't any mosquitoes because the water is tidal and doesn't sit still long enough for the little buggers (ha ha) to breed, I guess. I don't want to think about what was flying around me, but I didn't get bit by anything. There were lots of little snails, and the birds looked like they were waiting for us to finish so they could start eating!
The event got great local press coverage, and I'll be signing up for future cleanups. We just can't wait for the local governments to take action, you know? Everything, but everything, eventually ends up in the worlds' oceans. Cleaning debris seems like a backwards thing in that we're not addressing the cause of the pollution; but it needs to be done at some point. It's so cool to be doing something that makes an immediate and visible difference.
