Heal the Bay's eighth annual Coastal Cleanup Education Day, a lead up event to Coastal Cleanup Day. Partners from Southern California Edison and National Geographic were on hand for a press conference unveiling teacher environmental literacy guides that cover the topics of fresh water, ocean, energy and climate change.
Approximately 700 elementary students from under served communities arrived at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium for environmentally focused games, lessons and activities. These future environmental stewards--many of whom had never visited the ocean before--explored the beach, got up close and personal with the living species in the Aquarium touch tanks and even cleaned up the beach.
6 school groups collected 109 lbs. of trash and 5 feet of cigarette butts!

History[edit]
Built in 1890, Cape Meares Light served as the light station for Tillamook Bay. When it was built, the lighthouse complex included two keeper's houses, two oil houses, and two cisterns, and was connected to the light by a 1,000-foot (300 m) boardwalk. Later additions included an attached workroom in 1895 and a garage in 1934.[1] The light itself was iron-plated, and due to its exposure to the elements, it required frequent repainting over the years. No foghorn was ever installed at Cape Meares. In 1934, the light received electricity. Now unnecessary, the oil houses were removed.[2]
In 1963, the lighthouse was deactivated and replaced by a newer tower.[1] The following year, the Coast Guard made plans to demolish the light. However, due to public outcry, the plans fell through, and the Coast Guard turned the station over to Tillamook County. The light remained vacant until 1968, when the site was turned over to the Oregon State Parks Department. During this time, vandalism became a major problem for the light. Eventually, the vandalism took its toll on the keeper's quarters and they were subsequently demolished. Among the damage, four of the bulls-eyes in the Fresnel lens were stolen. That same year, the light was opened up to the public and the light was restored, with the exception of the missing bulls-eyes. Since then, three of the four missing bulls-eyes have been recovered.[3] In 1980, the tower itself was opened to the public.[2]
The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[4]
The U.S. Coast Guard permanently switched off Cape Meares Light (LLNR 675) on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, as it is no longer considered necessary for safe navigation of the seacoast.[5]
2010 vandalism[edit]
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: too news-focused; needs to be cleaned and summarized in better wording. Please help improve this article if you can. (November 2014)
Between the afternoon of January 9 and noon on January 10, 2010, an unknown vehicle reportedly drove down a blocked maintenance road to the lighthouse viewing area. A number of rounds were fired, breaking 15 of the lighthouse's windows and several parts of the historic Fresnel lens. Additional rounds were fired into a nearby active Coast Guard light and surrounding equipment. While driving off the maintenance road the suspect vehicle also caused significant damage to a grassy area. Damages were initially estimated to be over $50,000, but subsequent inspections have shown it may cost more than $500,000 to repair the lens. A park ranger stated that the lens was created in Paris in 1888 and had been shipped around the tip of South America to Oregon.[6] Early news reports stated a $1,000 reward was being offered for information leading to arrests, a figure which was raised to $3,000 by the evening of January 11.[6][7] On February 10, two Oceanside men, Zachary Jon Pyle, age 23 and David Regin Wilks Jr., age 26, were arrested in connection with the vandalism.[8] At the time of the arrests the reward figure had climbed to $6,000. The men were convicted and received a creative sentence by a Tillamook County District Court judge. David Wilkes Jr. and Zachary Pyle were ordered to pay $100,000 to the lighthouse and serve three 16-day jail terms over three years. Each jail term will start on December 27, which coincides with the date of the vandalism. They served their first sentence from December 27, 2010, to January 11, 2011, and they will do so again at the end of the this year and the end of next year.
The men, who admitted they were drunk at the time, said it was the dumbest thing they had ever done. In handing down the sentence, the judge said, "Some people go to Hawaii for vacation and some people go to jail. The next three years will serve as a reminder, and you are going to get some time to contemplate that." as quoted in a news story at Lighthouse Digest.[9]

Ten people took time out on Saturday, December 5th, to clean up the Lafitte Corridor in the vicinity of the Sojourner Truth Community Center. Volunteers included two from the Sierra Club, three from Friends of Lafitte Corridor, and three from Tulane University. They dug out the sidewalk (a lot of work) and picked up roughly eight large bags of trash.
Special thanks to Criminal Sheriff of Orleans Parish Marlin Gusman and Major Jerrod Spinney (Community Service Coordinator) for getting the brush cleared away in advance of the cleanup.
Another cleanup is tentatively scheduled for spring 2010.

RIP, Little Canopy - Saturday the 13th of Oct 2013, a freak storm popped up, and shredded this canopy and tossed it up into the top of the pear trees. Took me quite awhile to remove it's poles and canvas tarp from the entangled tree limbs. But what was awesome, is the Pole Barn, or Shop/Storage Building did not even flinch an inch. It never moved, or strained in any way. It is now even stronger now that it's siding is anchored around 8" into the ground itself.
