Field notes
The page places its cleanup area between Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, and describes how litter can affect birds, marine mammals, and animals living in the wash zone. Its explainer defines nurdles as lentil-sized plastic pellets and notes that they can be difficult to spot. The site also says volunteers have tracked green sea turtles in the San Gabriel River since 2008.
