When I was fishing a certain beach in Portsmouth that I once lived next to on a regular basis I found the ethnicity of the morons leaving garbage to be quite diverse.I usually packed out a contractors sized bag worth of garbage a week.I always found it amazing that even when a half dozen garbage cans are available and you HAVE to walk by them to get back to your car that people will still elect to leave their garbage on the shore.
Now that I'm living in Tiverton I fish this beach much less.While fishing there last week the amount of garbage while not staggering was much more than I've ever seen.And with so many areas that have been lost to development on the West side there are many more people fishing this beach.Now whether or not its the fisherman leaving the garbage,it won't matter to the town of Portsmouth.The town will make the assumption that the increased amount of fisherman=increased amount of garbage.
Every time I fish I bring a plastic grocery bag with me and pick up as much trash that will fit in it.More times than not that means I can't get all of it,but if all who fished did this we'd have one beautifully clean shoreline.
