This morning, Genea and I took a small trip to the Golden Gate bridge see if we could find the ebb tideline there. The tideline is the where the flood and ebb currents meet, and trash supposedly accumulates along it. We didn't see the tideline, but we did get to enjoy the gorgeous view from the bridge! Truly breath-taking.
When we got back, we cleaned out our samples from the Bay Tow on Tuesday to see if we got any plastic. We removed seaweed and other organic matter, and guess what we found?
We didn't get any large pieces of plastic this time, but there were tiny, colorful specks floating on the water. These could be smaller fragments of plastic that broke down in the water through wave action.
