I thought you might be interested in a Labor Day story of community, culture, and conservation, where Quinault locals, a nonprofit, and a seafood industry partner came together to protect one of Washington’s most stunning coastal areas.
Over the holiday weekend, volunteers from across western Washington joined the Quinault Indian Nation, Twin Harbors Waterkeepers, and Pacific Seafood for the 6th annual beach cleanup on the Quinault Reservation tidelands. This effort provides a way for these organizations and individuals to give back to the resource that offers cultural, recreational, and economic value to their communities.
Highlights from the event:
- This effort was led by Scott Mazzone with the Quinault Indian Nation, Lee First, with Twin Harbors Waterkeepers, and Kyle Deerkop, with Pacific Seafood, South Bend.
- Pacific Seafood proudly provided the dumpster, which volunteers quickly filled three-quarters full of debris in just two days.
The cleanup drew participants from across the region, eager to give back and support stewardship of the Quinault Reservation coastline.
