Seal Beach left filthy by 4th of July vistors !

This is just "awful," as I walked along the beach and shore line of Seal Beach yesterday I witnessed trash spewed everywhere in the water along the coastline and on our sand. It was disgusting everything from filthy diapers, cans of spray paint all types of plastic and papers mostly from taco stands that do not exist in Seal Beach. This just proves to us what kind of pollution comes through the river bed from those people that live in east Los Angeles area and the amount of trash that those visitors leave on our beach.

The folks that live along the riverbed (in Azusa, Covina, Baldwin Park, El Monte, Whittier, Pico Rivera, Downey, Norwalk, BellflowerLakewood, and Long Beach) need to understand that the trash, debris and garbage that they throw in the streets and into riverbeds eventually spit everything out into the Seal Beach community. Seal Beach receives trash that travels along the San Gabriel River, and empties into Seal Beach and then these filthy people visit our beach and leave trash EVERYWHERE ! 

Then I strolled down to the 1st Street parking lot and witnessed trash all over the parking lot, graffiti and gang banger types drinking and fishing in the river bed. As I continued to stroll the area I noticed bags of fast food and trash left in parking stalls.

At the completion of my walk I thought if the city really wanted to keep Seal Beach clean they would need to hire five full time summer employees just to walk around the beach picking up trash after these filthy disgusting animals. I have witnessed many of these visitors and can promise you NONE of them are locals.

SOMETGHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY!  I TRAVEL ALOT AND CAN ASSURE YOU THAT SEAL BEACH IS BY FAR THE FILTHY BEACH I HAVE EVER SEEN!
