Clear everyday litter from Imperial Beach's dry sand and esplanade on open days.

Above the tide line, Imperial Beach's dry sand and esplanade collect ordinary beach litter (wrappers, cans, toys, cigarette butts) that blows into the surf if no one gets it first. On days when postings allow beach access, a grabber-and-bucket sweep of the dry zone keeps local litter from joining the water's larger troubles.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos with weighed haul

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Check the posted advisory signs first and work only on days and zones open to the public.
2. Sweep the dry sand and esplanade with a grabber and bucket, staying above the wet-sand line at all times.
3. Sort recyclables from trash and weigh or count the haul.
4. Photograph the cleared stretch and the sorted haul with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos of the swept stretch
• Photo of the sorted, weighed haul
• GPS, date, and note of the advisory status that day

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Coastal Habitat. Coastal habitat is the green fringe where land meets sea: eelgrass meadows, kelp beds, salt marsh. Acre for acre these are among the most life-giving places on Earth, nursery to the fish and buffer to the storm, and NOAA's assessment methods exist because they are quietly shrinking. Mastery looks like a person who can survey a stretch of shore and say, with evidence, whether the meadow is spreading or retreating. This packet is one piece of that watching: one site, one careful observation, one record added to the long ledger of the coast.
