The Montreux Clean Beach Project II (MVCPII) has started.

The Baye de Clarens will remain a key site in the project

 For the first two weeks we will be testing our new data collection method and standardizing our communications.

If you have not seen the results of MCBPI you can find them here (link to our slideshare account)

English

French

Based on the lessons learned from the first project we have made quite a few changes:

1. Complete inventories at each operation (elimination of volume/mass and frequency surveys)
   1. 6 sites (rive gauche and rive droite)
   2. Minimum 40 samples per site
   3. Maximum of 1 week between samples
   4. Over 100 categories per sample
2. Adoption of the Marine Litter Watch category list for beach liter surveys
   1. We use their codes and categories
   2. We use Kobo for our data storage and forms
      1. Interested parties can get online access to data (CSV or XLS)
   3. Adoption of R for local data storage and analysis
3. Surface area measurements at each operation (looking at density)
   1. Inclusion of GPS data
4. Coordinated communication strategy
   1. Standardized blog posts and daily reporting
   2. Standardized monthly aggregate reports
   3. Monthly article on relevant topics (hydrology, statistics, environmental economics, surfing etc…)
5. Focus on river mouths and locations not covered by CIPEL

This is my least favorite beach to clean & today's clean up was the most depressing yet. Due to the storm Saturday there was an exceptional amount of trash in the water & in the strand-line & due to the hot & sunny weather and school vacation the beach was packed w/ children. The indifference of the parents to their children swimming and playing in trash astounds me. Ma & pa install in it,  completely & thouroughly ignoring the fact they are laying in garbage, although 1 mother handed me a couple pieces of broken glass. This is also predominately a local beach, it is not tourists polluting nor enjoying it.  Plages Propres is: A study of the social & ecologic behavior of modern humans in their natural habitat.

Additionally this beach has the clubhouse for the lifeguards of Claren, a stand-up paddle rental site and a concession stand.  Taking pride and responsibility where we live, work, & play is in everybody's interest. Indifference is
 a choice!
