Your Impact on the Ocean!!!

Sign at Sunset Beach, Cape May Point, New Jersey
We were recently in Cape May, NJ for a birding weekend and came across this sign at a shop on Sunset Beach, Cape May Point. It outlines how long it takes man’s trash to degrade in the ocean. A disposable diaper (not biodegradable) has an estimated lifetime in the ocean of an astounding 450 years!!
“Leave nothing on the beach except your footprints – take care of our land and seas.”
The signs say it all!
