You could also consider insurance coverage for all those taking part. Check to see if your municipality's insurance policy could include the clean-up volunteers. For the adopting group, this is a service that benefits the community and the province by keeping our roadsides clean. The shoreline of Nova Scotia stretches and curves for 7,459 kilometres. But marine debris is threatening to make a mess of Nova Scotia's beaches.
Marine trash is dangerous to our wildlife, the fishing industry, beach-goers.
A desire to maintain the beauty of our province makes beach and shoreline clean-ups popular options. It is imperative when undertaking a beach clean-up to not disturb any plants or wildlife. The shorelines of Nova Scotia are home to a variety of species, some of which are endangered or threatened. For example, the Piping Plover, an endangered bird species, nests on beaches around the province. Before cleaning a shoreline, contact either the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources or Clean Nova Scotia for a list of sensitive wildlife areas.
