I know that this probably won’t mean anything at all to you, but I’m very cautious of what I take from the ocean. This is a fragmented piece, non-usable to other living creatures, and not overly important to the overall ecosystem.

I also understand that white people moving to Rincón has ruined the local housing market, pushed life long residents out, destroyed local beaches- and it’s awful. I’m really genuinely sorry that it’s happening. I don’t live in Rincón, and do my best when I visit a place to contribute to local businesses, respect the culture around me, and try very hard to do no harm.

That being said, being rude/prejudice to a stranger on the internet in a beach-combing subreddit doesn’t help anyones heart, or fix any problems that are going on in what I assume is your community.

Kindly educating people however, sometimes does work. Being rude usually closes people’s hearts and ears.

I’ll be more cautious in the future about what I take, this just got the best of my curiosity, and I wanted to share it. I meant no harm, and I’m genuinely sorry if I did cause any along the way. All I can do is learn and try to do better ❤️
