😬 Fishing gear, construction materials and tools, tires, a puzzle piece, or a hubcap—volunteers consistently bring back a wide range of "odd" items along our coastlines.

While these objects are ordinary everyday tools in our homes and routines, their presence in OUR coastal ecosystems is anything but normal. 🚫

The most perplexing part of cleanup work isn't the items we find, but the mindset that leaving them behind, or neglectful behavior, is acceptable!

That's the ODD part about it all!

👉 Every item here (and much, much more!) was prevented from breaking down into harmful micro-debris or posing a physical hazard to local wildlife thanks to our awesome volunteers, especially all our YOUTH in these pics! 👏👏👏

Remember: true coastal stewardship starts with personal accountability: pack it in, pack it out! 🫶

Steelhead... trout? But don’t they go out to the ocean? So are they salmon, trout, or both? 🤨🐟🤔

If our current Earth Honoree has caused some head-spinning regarding its identity, you are not alone!

Nature doesn't always fit neatly into boxes—and that adaptability is what makes our local O. mykiss so resilient.

👉 Check out these graphics and this month's newsletter for more information on this topic!

But perhaps you want to dive even deeeeeper into their life history? 👀 Check out the link in our bio to download our free Steelhead Trout Teacher Toolkit for lesson plans, activities, and more!

☝️Noooo that's not a flock camera . . .but it isn't indeed a large piece of metal that's been tossed around the ocean and Montara, California's shore for a while!! 🌊

Thankfully, and with much appreciation it was brought up by our volunteers to be properly discarded, which required shortening it 🪚 in order to fit in a truck.

Ya truly never know what you'll find at a PBC cleanup event. 🫪😆😋

Soooo, might as well join us at one of our weekend cleanups or habit restoration events here in the SF Bay Area. Check out the link in our bio or at PacificBeachCoalition.org/calendar-2026
