Trash cleared away from John Smith’s Bay
-
Clean-up time: Volunteers who helped out with a clean-up at John Smith's Bay at the weekend.
Divers and accountants teamed up for a clean-up operation at John Smith’s Bay.
Members of Bermuda Sub-Aqua Club and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants collected several bags of garbage from the beach, and four plastic chairs, rope, glass bottles and fishing line from the ocean.
Rachel Derry of ACCA said in a statement: “We’re really pleased with the amount of trash we collected. You tend to think of John Smith’s Bay as one of the cleaner beaches in Bermuda but we found a lot of bottles, pieces of plastic and cigarette ends in the undergrowth.
“It was fabulous to have BSAC involved, as we previously did a beach clean-up at Shelly Bay but were unable to touch the water.
“It is certainly surprising how much plastic there is in the ocean. Also, the variety of items found there, such as chairs and golf balls.”
Potential new members of BSAC Clubhouse can attend meetings at Admiralty Park, Spanish Point, every Wednesday from 7.30pm. For more information e-mail: chairman@bsac.bm.
