They help rid the shoreline and the home of the wintering flock of Whooping Cranes of:
63 bags of trash
7 milk crates
8 pieces of large rope
1 television
1 boat hook
1 crab trap
35 gallon buckets
3 fluorescent bulbs
20 pieces of assorted lumber
The clean-up event could not have been done without the tremendous help from volunteers and the supporting organizations, Mission-Aransas Reserve at The University of Texas Marine Science Institute, Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and Rockport Birding and Kayak Adventures and the San Antonio Bay Foundation.
