next time you see folks fishin near trash, ask them if they would help you do some cleanup. Tell them some slobs keep trashin the place and if they wouldnt mind helpin you out you wouldnt mind pointin out a few spots.

give them a real connection with the ecology - what effect does the trash have on the fish? the air? the sand?

I bet they would love to walk barefoot in clean sand.
remember the hypodermics that washed up back in the 80's?

Remind them how much public access is being lost every day due to closed minded folks who blame the out of staters for everything.

Make all your points but not at them. Ask them to help out so that when you go to the next town meeting you can say firsthand that they should keep the access because you have seen that some of the people do care.

If they laugh at you or make a bigger mess, take down the plates and call the state. There are littering fines and they are large. Bring a camera and document the mess - so you can show that you are making a difference.

There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.
