Its pretty much trash, I wouldnt worry about the sanitary aspect of it. I would say you probably dont want to eat any of it though, it could make you sick

The Surfriders are planning their clean-up later in the day for anyone that cant make the morning (I have to be somewher later). Here is the email I received from them regarding this:

*************************************************

Hi all,

I want to thank you for coming to last night's forum and expressing your
thoughts, concerns, and ideas. We are organizing all that info right now
and will be following up on it today.

One major idea that came out of last night was to take a proactive
approach to start cleaning the beach. The fact is that the beaches are not
being cleaned up to the degree that we all expect. Rather than just
merely complain, we are going to take the situation into our own hands and
organize a major beach clean-up stretching from Green Hill Beach to East
Matunuck State Beach. I am calling the Dredging Company and we will be
charging them for bags, gloves, dumpsters, tipping fees, etc.

Low tide is at approximately 2:45 p.m. We are planning the clean-up from
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. We will meet at 1:30 p.m. at the Deep Hole Parking
Lot (at the end of Matunuck Beach Road, past the Ocean Mist, and on the
right). Dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes.

Please forward this email to everyone you know. Let's have a strong
response at the clean-up and show the state how much we care about our
beaches.

Thanks!

I will still be there at 900 this morning. The material will continue to migrate to shore, and will be alternately buried and exposed with storms, so to do this right will need constant attention for many months. If you cant make it today, consider a future session
