Dateline: Tuesday morning, August 21, 2018 in front of Will Rogers Lifeguard Headquarters (WRHQ). Here are the photos I took of the beach trash left behind by L.A. County Dept. of Beaches & Harbors (LACDBH) right in front of WRHQ and lifeguard tower #14, which continues to represent a public health and safety risk to both the general public and ocean lifeguards.
Below, is a sampling of the beach trash left behind by LACDBH which I picked up by hand and later disposed of properly in a nearby trash can.
Below, three photos of additional beach trash (and kelp) raked up by LACDBH and released and left behind beside WRHQ...
LACDBH should promptly send a crew to hand pick up this beach trash after it leaves it behind but LACDBH continues NOT to do so. Instead it simply releases and leaves all of this raked up beach trash behind. Continuing to do so is at best careless and at worst is gross negligence.
The Board of Supervisors should audit this practice and demand changes so that the general public and ocean lifeguards are not placed at higher risk of injury due to this irresponsible and repeated action by LACDBH.
Respectfully submitted,
Will Maguire, Esq.
