I clean the shoreline of Rivière des Prairies a short distance eastward from Cap St. Jacques. The property and ancient house was recently purchased by the city ( Mayor Jim Beis) I believe.
No fishing line was found, but nine used women's feminine hygiene products (tampons) were on the shoreline indicating household sewage was landing here , household sewage making it unsafe to get in the water.
The mayor said it was dirty, but tell me who is going to clean it up?
How quickly will the plastic pollution return is MY question, as no one cleans the shoreline. No one is paid to clean the shoreline. I hope the plastic will be slow to return. Mark this as the start date. Plastic does not rot or biodegrade.
I have had (plastic) cleaning success at a bay area in eastern Whitehorse rapids. I made a video of my self cleaning up all the plastic, and new plastic has not arrived. Prince and princess, had just looked at the plastic on the shoreline and said " How sad." and did nothing.
