The Mission Beach Town Council and the Santa Clara Recreation Council are co-sponsoring the event. Also participating in the Clean Up are children enrolled in the KidzWatch Academy, a new program administered by the San Diego Police Department. KidzWatch, in partnership with local police, fire, and lifeguard officials, trains children in fire safety, contacting police, bicycle safety and water safety.
Kids also complete community service projects throughout the year.
This event is the perfect opportunity for everyone to come out and show their support for the beaches, and in the process, learn about other efforts to protect our coastal waters. I think this program will teach kids to have pride in their communities, and to take responsibility for protecting their environment.
