I cleaned the shoreline at Roxboro Island and the eastern edge of Whitehorse rapids/Rapides du Cheval Blanc. One bag of garbage collected.

Same photo as above un-zoomed.

Someone dumped their problem thorn plant in the river and it washed ashore on Roxboro Island. I did not bring this to the garbage.

The garbage I collected and brought to the city garbage container. There were/are lots of straws (red, purple) on the shoreline and area.

If you haven't seen it, you can see a turtle suffering from a plastic straw stuck in its nose video (video of removal). Maybe they should have left it in.
