Rains bring Plastic Pollution to our Bay
Every time it rains, anything that's on the streets goes into the storm drains and creeks, then straight out into the bay unfiltered. Plastic poses a serious threat to our oceans and waterways. Birds, turtles, fish, and other marine life ingest the plastic pieces, mistaking them for fish eggs, plankton, jellyfish, or other food sources. Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea creatures, both large and small, die from complications relating to plastic debris. Help us remove this plastic pollution on Wildcat Creek and save a life!
