The Inter­na­tional Coastal Clean Up is sched­uled for 9 a.m. Sat­ur­day, Sept. 25. Inter­ested indi­vid­u­als and groups are encour­aged to par­tic­i­pate in this annual event at Cedar Point Envi­ron­men­tal Park, 2300 Placida Road.

This event is the largest beach and water­way cleanup pro­gram, with vol­un­teers around the world par­tic­i­pat­ing. Last year 498,818 vol­un­teers from 108 coun­tries removed 7.4 mil­lion pounds of trash. The data col­lected pro­vides a road map for elim­i­nat­ing marine debris alto­gether by reduc­ing it at the source, chang­ing behav­iors that cause it and sup­port­ing debris pre­ven­tion policies.

Bags, gloves and data sheets will be pro­vided as well as light refresh­ments. T-shirts will be sup­plied to the first arrivals (while sup­plies last).

This Clean-up effort is orga­nized by the Char­lotte Har­bor Envi­ron­men­tal Cen­ter and is spon­sored by Keep Char­lotte Beau­ti­ful.  To reg­is­ter or for fur­ther infor­ma­tion, call 941−475−0769.
