It was dirty.
How dirty was it, Johnny?
5.7 million kg (12,566,349 lbs) of trash.
Volunteers spent 90 weeks cleaning 6283 short tons of trash off the beach.
It looked pretty good, you could walk barefoot, turtles could lay eggs.
And then… and then… two weeks later.
You know what they say, a rising tide lifts all the trash.
