The Ocean City Clean Communities Program and Clean Ocean Action will sponsor Fall Beach Sweep 2008 on Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Volunteers are asked to meet at the Music Pier located at Moorlyn Terrace and the boardwalk to be assigned to a group and receive instructions and equipment.
Data cards will be used to record the litter that is picked up and the information will be entered into a national database of marine debris. Teams of two or three people will be formed to pick up and record the litter on each beach.
In 1985, Clean Ocean Action (COA) launched the region’s first beach sweep program to rid beaches of unsightly and harmful debris. COA’s Beach Sweeps is one of the longest running cleanups of its kind in the world.
For more information, or to pre-register a group, please call the Ocean City Environmental Office at 609-525-9285.
