What is Seaglass? 

​

Sea glass begins as bottles & glass that get tossed on the shore, broken, and then tumbled smooth by the waves and currents. Nature acts like a big rock tumbler recycling our pollution!

These diminishing beach gems are becoming harder to find as glass is no longer used as it was in the past. Before the mid 1960’s, everything came in glass bottles or jars or tin cans. Plastic was still a product of the future and recycling was non existent. In coastal areas and islands, trash collection was also something that would not begin until the area developed.

Back before the 1960's, coastal residents would bury their trash in the sand or simply toss it in the ocean (thinking the sea was this vast indestructible entity).  Today we know and act differently. With the advent of recycling and the wide use of plastic for beverages, sea glass is becoming increasingly harder to find.
