Iguana beach Cleanup Bahamas
The oceans are way more polluted than we think. While this trip was bittersweet, it was a great opportunity for us to try out our new mesh trash bag. This trip was a bucket list trip for our sister and law. She’s been battling cancer for many years and has decided she is going to do all the things she’s wanted to do in her life before she goes. We were so happy we were able to be a part of this one.
We stayed on a little island name Staniel Cay. It was a wonderful oasis, and we had our own little cove at the end of the island to enjoy. As Adrienne and I walked around the beach, we couldn’t believe the amount of trash that had washed up on the beach. As we ventured out to other beaches, we noticed the same thing. Luckily we had a prototype of our new mesh trash bag with us, so we were able to pick up trash along the way and know it wouldn’t get back into the ocean, even if we had it in the water with us.
This bag performed so well, and we were able to pick up a lot of trash on a protected beach with indigenous iguanas. Even though they were hesitant to come all the way up to us, we could tell they knew we were helping them.
After that we cleaned up our cove for a day. We must have gotten 6 loads of trash off our cove beach. It felt great to do just a little part to help this fragile ecosystem.
