I had the pleasure of helping to organize this years Combing the Coast Remote Beach Cleanup with Mick from @htosunsurfswim. Here is a link to the full video that @adelman.films and @jamescgill made: vancouverisland.surfrider.org Marine debris is a chronic problem around the world that needs to be addressed immediately. Combing the Coast is a grassroots program unique to the Vancouver Island Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and is focused at monitoring and removing marine debris from Vancouver Island shorelines. By organizing volunteer missions such as this one, we are able to collect, analyze and then publicly illustrate the dire situation our oceans are currently facing. The solution is not in cleaning up after ourselves, but in motivating changes (both locally and globally) that stop the problem at its source. By removing this debris and creating this film, we hope to motivate you to create that change. Please share this video with your family and friends and start a conversation about how we can make a change in our world. @surfridervi @htosunsurfswim @sitka @coastline_surf_skate @vanaqua @vibrewery @adelman.films @jamescgill #combingtocoast
