Earth Day 2021 brought more than a dozen volunteers to the La Jolla coast for a beach cleanup the first such in-person effort organized by the Sierra Club Seal Society of San Diego since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The April 22 collection netted 21.5 pounds of trash.
The group met when the tide was lower at 10 a.m. at the gazebo overlooking the Children’s Pool to distribute gloves, trash bags, trash pickers and more before dispersing north and south, clearing the walkways, bushes and beaches between Shell Beach and South Casa Beach.
