On Saturday, May 17, the Vashon Rotary Club and other island groups are inviting volunteers to help them remove debris from the island's beach, including tires. Many of those tires were placed in the Puget Sound in the 1970s and 1980s with the hope that they'd create artificial reefs for sea life. But the tires moved around and some washed ashore, and scientists now know that they seep chemicals into the water which are harmful to marine organisms. Find more information at tinyurl.com/VashonRotaryTires; and consider joining volunteers for a day of resistance (training) against marine pollution.
