Garbage Galore On The Islands

Volunteers removing a staggering amount of refuse and debris from the beaches of the Passamaquoddy Bay Islands.

Nature Conservancy of Canada spokesperson Andrew Holland tells CHSJ News over a tonne of garbage was removed from the islands last week. 

He says the removal of various debris and trash, like buoys and lobster traps will help out the wildlife in the area.




He say the clean-up crew covered over 100 acres of beach and ran out of trash-bags in the process.

Holland says another trip will be planned to finish the job.
