Beach cleanups, by whatever groups are important. However, until the PCSGA begins to hold these events during minus tides when much of the derelict shellfish gear of concern is exposed, it may be worth PCSGA considering not using the event as a promotional tool showing how little shellfish gear is collected. (see 2013 tide table below to see when minus tides - in red - expose the lower elevations)
