#CharlestonSC (WCBD) – "A #marsh cleanup event is planned on World Wetlands Day in Downtown Charleston.

"The #CharlestonWaterkeeper, #KeepCharlestonBeautiful, and #TheMarshProject are hosting a cleanup near Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston and are seeking volunteers.

"Volunteers will pick up litter from one of the city’s beloved marsh fronts. Volunteers should wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing that can get dirty.

"Spaces are limited, so interested volunteers are encouraged to sign up here.

"Feb. 2 is World Wetlands Day, a fitting moment for Charleston Waterkeeper to celebrate, as about 40% of Charleston is considered a wetland ecosystem, the group says on a recent Facebook post.

"The group also says marshes are vital. They provide #habitat, stabilize #shorelines, and protect us from #StormSurges. Cleanups help keep these #ecosystems resilient and protect all residents."

(A long straight trail along the shores. Old places new places different names, unrecognised, slightly disconnected. Spinning in circles, sorting, labeling memories. 4pm and on. Dusk in the trees again.)

Wieder in den Zimmern. Heißer Tee. Schwere Glieder, Haut spannt. Man spürt die Strecke, hält die Ferne in sich. Und lässt dem Abend seinen Raum.

On December 19, a crew from Alameda’s Public Works Department was out in force at Alameda Point to clean up debris hurled onshore by recent storms. Richard Bangert shares photos and footage from the impressive cleanup job. https://alamedapost.com/news/public-works-clears-storm-debris/

Irene Dieter shares a photo essay of the shoreline damage around Crab Cove and the beach. "Ironically, the stalled restroom project at Shore Line Drive and Grand Street, which had to go back to the drawing board to meet floodplain standards, was not affected at all by the storm," notes Dieter. https://alamedapost.com/news/alameda-shoreline-takes-a-beating-from-storms-and-tides/
