Sept. 17th Coastal Cleanup Day

Proud volunteers!

Did you know that 80% of trash that enters the ocean from California comes from inland areas?

Coastal Cleanup Day is Saturday, September 17th 9am-Noon.  Join SGERC at San Gregorio State Beach or at any of the Coastal or Inland cleanup sites.  You can look for sites and preregister at:

Bring Your Own reusable: bucket, gloves, water bottle, etc.  Also bring sturdy shoes, sunscreen and layered clothing.  Weather can be unpredictable!

After a brief orientation, volunteers will work in teams to collect debris and record the trash picked up.  The data collected from these events guide efforts to reduce trash and their impacts on the environment.  Picking up the trash ... well, you immediately see the difference!

Parking for volunteers is free at San Gregorio State Beach - one of the state's ways of saying "Thank You!!!"
