As coronavirus restrictions begin to ease, people and their trash have been inundating Brevard's beaches.

Over 13,000 pounds of trash picked up at Cocoa Beach last weekend – less than a month after it reopened on April 21. As a result, officials are cracking down on littering, increasing fines and enforcement.

Littering in Cocoa Beach can now fetch offenders a $250 fine.

"As restrictions are becoming more relaxed during this pandemic, the City of Cocoa Beach is beginning to see an influx of day-trippers to our beaches, along with piles of unlawfully discarded trash in their wake," Cocoa Beach Police Department wrote in a notice.

2. Is it any surprise

That the Venn Diagram of "people rushing out of the house" and "people inconsiderate enough to just leave their garbage behind" is nearly a complete overlap.
