The marine debris tally is still coming in, but wow did we ever have an incredible turnout for the 14th Biennial Nehalem Estuary Cleanup! Here are just a few photos of the over 100 folks who braved rain, mud and more to take care of the Nehalem River Estuary. Thank you to all who joined in to collect plastic, tires, bottles, mystery foam, half a boat (it goes on!) and more! We couldn't have done it without you.
