Join a group of your colleagues for a fun and educational beach cleanup hosted by VolunteerCleanup.org. We’ll help protect our marine environment by removing plastic marine debris while collecting important citizen science data, and compete for the chance to win prizes for whoever finds the strangest thing!
VolunteerCleaunp.org will provide all of the supplies for the cleanup (gloves, bags, pickers, buckets, sunscreen, insect repellent, hand-sani)
Important Reminders for Volunteers:
- FOOD/DRINK: Please bring water in your own reusable water bottles. We will have coolers for cold water refills but strongly discourage single-use plastic disposable bottled water. Lunch will be provided, following the cleanup
- ATTIRE: Dress for the weather and wear shoes suitable for walking on the beach. We suggest closed-toed shoes like sneakers or water shoes in case of broken glass or jellyfish on the sand. Hat and sunglasses are also recommended for a hot and sunny day.
- COVID SAFETY: Follow your company policy. This will be a socially distanced activity. If you are feeling unwell in any way on the morning of the event, or have had a recent exposure in the days leading up to the cleanup, please stay at home.
- Download the Clean Swell App to participate in the Citizen Science Data Logging. You will work in teams of 2-3ppl if you came with other guests
- WAIVERS: Volunteers must check-in and sign waivers before you start. Pre-signing the online waiver will help expedite check-in! https://forms.gle/1Xx8yk2Ro59avBySA
