Rockport Rotary Club volunteers were assign the beach on Broadway between Glass Ave. and McDonald's. We picked up over 12 bags of trash. This contributed to the Aransas County totals of 5 miles cleaned by 59 volunteers gathering 845 pounds of trash.
Statewide comments from the sponsor - Texas General Land Office:
More than 9,316 volunteers pitched in Saturday for the 26th Annual Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach Fall Cleanup. The volunteers removed 153 tons of trash from 29 sites along 186 miles of Texas coast.
"The turnout this year was amazing," said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson. "We have expanded our social media efforts reaching out through Facebook and other online media to reach people who really care about the Texas coast and who want to help keep it clean, and it seems to be working."
