Coastal Cleanup Day
The 21st Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day will be Saturday, September 17, 2005
by Staff on 6/27/2005
California Coastal Cleanup Day is the premier volunteer event focused on the marine environment in the country. On this day, 50,000 volunteers turn out to over 700 cleanup sites statewide to conduct what has been hailed by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the largest garbage collection" (1993). Since the program started in 1985, over 650,000 Californians have removed more than 10 million pounds of debris from our state's shorelines and coast. When combined with the International Coastal Cleanup, organized by The Ocean Conservancy and Watershed Cleanup, all taking place on the same day, California Coastal Cleanup Day becomes part of one of the largest volunteer events of the year.
Participating in Coastal Cleanup Day is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Pre-register with your local site captain, or simply show up at any of our drop-in sites. If you need further information call the Coastal Cleanup Coordinator for Orange County @ (949)923-2252.
