The cleanup starts off with a brief orientation, then we’ll head out to the beach to pick up litter and record our findings as part of our long-term study on marine pollution.
After the cleanup, we’ll weigh the trash and tally data cards. The whole process takes 1-2 hours.
Metered parking is available in the lot at the beach, or free parking is available along the roadside.
