00:10.840 --> 00:12.729
the heat isn't the only challenge

00:12.729 --> 00:14.896
facing workers cleaning the beaches in

00:14.896 --> 00:17.007
protective clothing . The beaches are

00:17.007 --> 00:18.673
open to the public at night ,

00:18.673 --> 00:20.840
temperatures drop , but workers safety

00:20.840 --> 00:22.951
remains a priority . Night Operations

00:22.951 --> 00:24.951
Manager rob sour explains . We have

00:24.951 --> 00:28.180
approximately 182 100 people working on

00:28.190 --> 00:31.150
short line , mainly picking up tar

00:31.150 --> 00:34.250
balls , um any other areas that are

00:34.250 --> 00:37.260
dressed up with any patties in oil uh

00:37.340 --> 00:40.310
manually by shovels , rakes scooping up

00:40.320 --> 00:42.042
and bagging it . Personnel are

00:42.042 --> 00:44.760
addressed in chicken boots , which are

00:44.760 --> 00:48.330
latex type of booties , tyvek suits ,

00:48.340 --> 00:51.560
uh latex gloves , which are doubled up

00:51.570 --> 00:55.360
safety glasses vest , and we just

00:55.370 --> 00:57.426
be able to monitor everybody through

00:57.426 --> 00:59.648
that . The tourists aren't on the beach

00:59.648 --> 01:01.592
at night , but that's when the sea

01:01.592 --> 01:03.703
turtles come ashore to lay their eggs

01:03.703 --> 01:05.870
were wearing red lights in the evening

01:05.870 --> 01:08.037
to for its limits are visibility , but

01:08.037 --> 01:10.037
it's uh an extra precaution for the

01:10.037 --> 01:12.920
turtles and wildlife come up on shore

01:12.920 --> 01:14.864
so we don't scare them and uh Miss

01:14.864 --> 01:16.830
Warren orientate them as they come

01:16.830 --> 01:19.570
ashore . Um We have , we have different

01:19.570 --> 01:22.450
teams and we have um supervisors out

01:22.460 --> 01:24.960
there overseeing Overseeing them . We

01:24.960 --> 01:27.016
also have some turtle observers over

01:27.016 --> 01:29.127
there watching out for the turtles in

01:29.127 --> 01:31.210
case they see any tracks where as

01:31.210 --> 01:33.043
they're coming up to lay eggs or

01:33.043 --> 01:35.321
anything like that , that they do that .

01:35.321 --> 01:37.543
We take our guidance off them , we back

01:37.543 --> 01:39.710
off , they let we clear the area , let

01:39.710 --> 01:42.280
them go ahead and come in nest so they

01:42.280 --> 01:44.169
can go back out and that could be

01:44.169 --> 01:46.280
anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour ,

01:46.280 --> 01:48.800
maybe longer . Um and then we do this

01:48.810 --> 01:51.190
through the evening and and we take all

01:51.190 --> 01:53.760
the bags we um pick up material , we

01:53.760 --> 01:56.220
bag it , we go ahead and we double bag

01:56.220 --> 01:58.510
it . Then we haul it off the beach with

01:58.520 --> 02:00.890
a T . V . S . Or other equipment , but

02:00.900 --> 02:04.160
basically like equipment so we don't

02:04.240 --> 02:06.950
impact the beaches and also in case the

02:06.960 --> 02:09.850
Nestea . And then if we do find nesting ,

02:09.860 --> 02:11.582
that's all put off to the side
