INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP
Saturday, September 17
9 AM to Noon
(NOTE: A few cleanups occur at a different time or date. Check the beach cleanup list for details!)
Who likes seeing trash on the beach? No One!
Coastal debris is not only ugly, it is dangerous to wildlife. For over 25 years, Audubon Society of Rhode Island has been organizing annual beach cleanups. Working with the Ocean Conservancy, we are part of an international effort to clean up our beaches and document trash so we can address the problem at the source. Here are some ways you can help:
Be a volunteer! Click here for a list of beach cleanups around the state. Contact the beach clenaup leader listed to sign up. For questions and more information, contact July Lewis (401-949-5454 x 3044).
Be a “Beach Captain”! If you or your group wants to take on organizing the cleanup of a beach or river, contact July Lewis (401-949-5454 x 3044).
Be a sponsor! We couldn’t do this cleanup without generous donors who help us to pay for bags, t-shirts, copying costs and other expenses. If you or your business would like to support this effort, please contact Jeff Hall (949-5454 x 3017).
To learn more about the cleanup, please contact July Lewis at jlewis@asri.org or 401-949-5454 x 3044. You can also visit the Ocean Conservancy’s Coastal Cleanup site. The results of the 2010 cleanup are available here.
Thanks for Keeping the Sea Free of Debris!
