re: Yall throw beer cans out the boat in ocean??

fresh water areas this is a different matter altogether and I never allow anything in the water in fresh water or brackish places, but in saltwater, they don't last very long at all, we used to toss them around the camp at empire and they are literally dissolved to a pile of soft white mush (corrosion dust) in just 3 weeks.

saltwater corrosion causes them to biodegrade very very fast, its not like a piece of steel that stays there and lasts for a year or two before rusting away.

I try not to toss any in the water, along with any other trash (trash gets bagged if I have one) I toss them behind the back seat area of my flatboat to be thrown in garbage can or my truck bed when I get back to the launch, but if one takes a bad bounce and ends up going in the water, I don't bother chasing after it if im in saltwater
