Marine Debris Cleanup with Ocean Conservancy

Green Bridge Fishing Pier

Date(s):  Saturday, July 17, 2010

Hours:  9 am - 12 noon

Ocean Conservancy would like to invite the community to help us as we "Start a Sea Change." Each year hundreds of marine mammals, sea turtles and thousands of sea birds become entangled on derelict fishing gear, plastics and monofilament fishing line. We will be conducting a clean up in order to remove these potentially harmful items and we need your help!

Ocean Conservancy will supply trash bags, trash grabbers, gloves, water, snacks, and coffee. Please wear close toed shoes, bring a kayak if you have one and lots of sunscreen.
