I think that's a good idea Marie has. I also think it would be good if some kind of project could clean up the accumulated fishing debris that's already out there, not just at Myers but also Stewart Park. I'd be happy to do what I can from my kayak when I go out but not sure it would be safe or that I would have the proper tools. Whom can we contact to share this photo, encourage this kind of clean up, and perhaps volunteer to help with the process? I've noticed a lot of tangled fishing wire and other trash along the inlet shore at Stewart Park when I am out in my kayak. Perhaps there are already regularly scheduled clean ups in place by park personnel but just thought I'd ask. Melissa
