Girl Scout Troop 602 based out of Weaver Elementary School in Los Alamitos held a beach clean up day with the non-profit organization, “Save Our Beach” on Saturday, Oct. 18 in Seal Beach.
As ocean advocates, the troop organized the beach clean up to protect marine life. They learned that up to 260 species of sea life are known to eat non-biodegradable plastic materials.
More than two dozen people attended the event, and the girls in the troop collected 10 garbage bags of trash all together. Along with this event, the troop collected Dawn dish soap and paper towels from the public as donations for the Pacific Marine Mammal Center. It was a very successful event and the Girl Scouts learned how they can make a difference in protecting the environment.
