-> This event was basically a huge trash cleanup in the San Diego River. It details what kind of things that were pulled out, from things that are 'regular' to things that are single-time finds (like a small slot machine!). It estimates how much trash they pull out each month- I believe the number was something like 5000 lbs!
-> The most important information was what kind of things got dumped into the water, how much of it was dumped into the water, and how it all flowed straight downstream into the ocean.
Things you wouldn't BELIEVE you would find floating down a river.
-> I changed my question to one relating to trash/waste and how it affects the animals like birds and stuff. Thus, knowing what kind of trash goes through the river, and how much of it does go through in the first place (or is taken out) will be handy in answering my essential question over the course of the project.
"Shopping carts and tires and refrigerators, kind of the things you expect," Hutsel says. "But then you also get these small little slot machines and other things that happen. It's kind of bizarre each time we kind of find new things we've never seen before along the river."-> If anything, I would have to say that this is missing what kind of effect that these things have on the animals, people and water before they get cleaned up, and where they get picked up in the first place (not to mention how far they've traveled before they do).
