"We did a cleanup three weeks ago. Then when we went back the other day, you could still see junk coming up in the wash," said Paul Harris, president of the New Jersey Beach Buggy Association, which helps take care of beaches on which the group goes surf fishing. "They go and clean it again, and two days later, you have the same thing again. There's nothing you can do about it; you can't vacuum the ocean."

This is one of the most sensible things I have read about post sandy debris. Get the sunken boats and cars out of the bays. the refrigerators, the a/c units, and all the bigger stuff. Can't worry about everything, it would be like finding toothpicks in sand dunes. As for the ocean there is no way you are ever going to get everything. njdiver thanks for posting that.
