Sections Marine Debris and Littering

The section "Marine Debris" discusses marine debris in general, nothing specific to this state beach other than the first sentence, "Marine debris has been found in the Zmudowski State Beach," which is true of every single state beach. Instead of including that information here, the article should link to an article about marine debris in general.

The section "Littering" consists of a single sentence stating that littering is illegal and fines are handed out at the beach, which is dated information that references a dead link. It should be removed.

~~Also remove reference to use of the beach by nudists and permanent dead link, let someone else chase that down.~~

Done. Also added an {{infobox protected area}} template to the page, mostly copying Moss Landing State Beach, and added an image from the Zmudowski SB website image gallery File:Zmudowski_State_Beach_Sign.jpg. Updating class of article from "Stub" to "Start", accordingly. Updating importance of article from "low" to "mid" (as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_California/Assessment#Importance_scale)
