Under the "Guests" section above is the word "COASST". It's in a different color, which suggests it's a hyperlink. Yup, moving my mouse over it indicated it points to

Clicking on that gets you to their website.

I was recently at a fairly remote cove on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua which is frequented mostly by surfers. I was stunned to see the amount of garbage on the beach - not driftwood, but plastic bottles and the like. My first inclination was to blame the surfers, but I later realized that this debris could be the deposits from the ocean due to prevailing currents. In either case, there was no indication of any attempt to clean it up, quite a contrast to Oregon. I hope to participate with SOLV at Rockaway Beach tomorrow.
