Panama City Beach volunteers see uptick in trash on beach

PANAMA CITY BEACH  Beach cleanup organizations have picked up hundreds of pounds of trash after Memorial Day weekend and the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam.  Trash on the sandy beaches has been a problem for years, but with an uptick in tourism this year, the problem has gotten worse, officials say.

The association’s board expects a repo

The town has paid the association $18,500 to compensate for recent legal expenses incurred in the dispute, which the group plans to use for long-needed upgrades and repairs to the town beach — a magnet for residents, especially younger families. Women kayak on the Stockbridge Bowl over areas with thick Eurasian watermilfoil. Although last summer’s infestation was not nearly as bad as in recent years, the invasive weed is expected to make a comeback in the next year or two.
