Annual September Coastal Cleanup

The 2023 Annual September Coastal Clean Up will look slightly different than previous years. 

Below are two clean up opportunities!

We are partnering with the Alliance for the Great Lakes to host these opportunities as part of their Adopt-a-Beach Program. With every piece of litter you tally, you’re contributing to a huge Great Lakes dataset that no lab or individual researcher could build on their own. The litter data is also shared with the Ocean Conservancy, so your work is part of a vital global dataset that shines a spotlight on plastic pollution.IMG_0058
