Here is our big surprise on a little detour before we hit the island Cozumel.
My gang and I had a very beautiful but trashy day at a beach at Puerto Morelos. Actually, it was our day off, but it turned into a #cleanplanet Day with the #hive-150210 community.
I am still surprised, having seen a beach with that amount of rubbish. On the Caribbean Sea. What would Captain Jack Sparrow say if he could see that part of the seven seas like that.
The location we cleaned is here;
—
Hendrik had bags to collect rubbish, and also we used the trash we found, like a bucket or similar things, to collect as much as possible;
—
We had a wide collection with lots of stuff;
—
The collection got bigger and bigger;
—
Interesting how the rubbish was taken by the ocean and marine life, like the title photo and;
We put all the collected rubbish onto our small car, but...;
I read the rules of your community;
Show Step by Step how you pick-up trash from nature with photo report or video
Prove us the Date of the Action
Put your picked up trash in a public bin
...
We had to be careful about where we would dispose all the collected rubbish, as everyone has to pay for their disposal.
It wasn't even our rubbish. Or was it? In a way, it is. We all contribute a part into this, conscious and unconsciously.
Anyway, we sneaked our way through and disposed it wherever we could. Still in a conscious way. But not much time for good photos;

About the date and time; Is it enough when I provide this?;
It was already dark and we're happy exhausted.

After and during the big collection, we enjoyed the beach and water. Here are some nice memories beside the rubbish;
It is a very beautiful beach with many little details along the shore. You can find, observe and sometimes play with hermits, snails, shells, fishes, birds and more. Always be careful and keep in mind that you are in their territory. You are a guest, a visitor. The creatures might feel threatened. Learn about your environment.
I observed a snail and wasn't sure if it's the famous geography cone. Which is venomous and deadly. But nope. It wasn't. Still, I was careful but wanted to put it back into deeper water as I found it somewhere lonely in a shallow lagoon.
