Re: River Cleanup
The environment of the river is only as healthy as the environment through which it passes. When you are on your way to work anywhere in NJ, check the sides of the state highways and off ramps. It is truly disgusting. Look at the parking lots at the shopping malls. If a river or brook passes anywhere close to them, the water will be littered with debris from those malls. Storm sewers all lead to water.
Andy's pictures from one of the tributaries of the Raritan near Bound Brook or Green Brook say a lot for the health of our waters. How do we clean it up? We do it by picking up one piece of trash at a time especially when we are fishing. I always collect discarded monofilament or floatables when I'm streamside on my way back to the car.
Do what you can, wherever you can, whenever you can.
