Last year, in New Jersey over 4,500 dedicated volunteers collected nearly a quarter of a million items from our beaches. This year we could use your help. Beach and waterway cleanups give people a chance to participate in an event that not only benefits the environment, but also benefits the community. This opportunity also gives everyone to make a difference and have their efforts impact the worldwide problem of non-point source pollution. By participating in a cleanup, you, your students or members of your group will gain a better appreciation for the environment and wastefulness of littering.
Individuals can participate by showing up at one of our meeting locations along the shore.
Arrange to meet at one of the public meeting locations along the Jersey shore on Saturday, April 28th or October 27th. We will send you the datacards and instruction you will need for the cleanup. This web site has lots of useful information for you and your students on the marine environment, educational programs, pollution problems and much more. We hope everyone will be able to participate in both of the beach cleanup.
