California Coastal Cleanup Day
It’s a big day. Tens of thousands of people hit the beaches, rivers, lakes, and streams to snag litter before it reaches the ocean. As Coastal Cleanup Day 2016 totals continue to pour in we eagerly watch the numbers climb throughout the coming days. As it stands we confirmed the collection of 710,000 lbs of trash and recycling, along 1,475 miles of shorelines (coastal and inland) by more than 60,000 volunteers! Thank you for your energy, support, and time.
In addition to those numbers, here are a few moments from Saturday’s cleanup:
Thank you to everyone who came out to #protectourcoastandocean on Saturday, September 17th.
To those who don’t mind getting dirty...
To those starting environmental stewardship at an early age...
To the strong, dedicated, and energetic...
To new members...
And seasoned veterans...
Thank you!
We will see you next year, on the third Saturday of September, for our 33rd California Coastal Cleanup Day!
Again, thank you for cleaning up the environment and for educating others about volunteerism and marine debris prevention!
