What started as one man combing the beach alone has grown into an entire community.<\/p>\n
Saturday morning, beachgoers took over Whitecap Beach for a beachcombing event hosted by Jace Tunnell, the Harte Research Institute, and Phillips 66. <\/p>\n
Tunnell said it was the first big public event he has been able to hold with the Harte Research Institute.<\/p>\n
The event not only brought the community together but also helped educate attendees on marine life and how important it is to maintain beaches.<\/p>\n
