Vargas Island Marine Debris Cleanup


May 27th - May 31st
British Columbia

This 5-day trip will be a circumnavigation of Vargas Island with stops at most of the major recreation beaches. At each stop we will work as a team to collect any marine debris that has accumulated & package it for later removal. On Ahous bay, we will meet with the Ahousaht Guardians and the Ahousaht Secondary school kids to do a joint beach clean of this sprawling west facing beach. Participation requires expertise navigating class 3 waters — hazards include:  swell, boomers, surf landings, surf launches.
