Half the fee is refunded if visitors turn in a full trash bag on departure. Taken together, the local cleanups voice a loud, clear, global message that we all need to cherish our ocean. No single approach will solve the global problem of marine debris. A beach cleanup is a temporary fix, not a cure. Regional strategies, designed to accommodate regional conditions and resources, are needed to stop pollution at its source.
Prevention is the only permanent protection against ocean pollution.
