DAN HAMMOCK | THE DAILY WORLD About 1,500 pounds of trash collected by volunteers from the beaches between Westport and Tokeland was brought back to the Westport Maritime Museum Saturday. The cleanup was organized by the Olympia chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Twin Harbors Waterkeepers, and the Grays Harbor Stream Team. Pacific Seafoods provided a truck to haul some of it away, and the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association helped out. “The support of the industry is a great help in this whole process,” said John Shaw, museum director. “It also helps with the recycling of some of the materials.”
