The 2009 International Coastal Clean Up sponsored by The Ocean Conservancy THE OCEAN CONSERVANCY that will occur on the banks of the Choptank River on Saturday, September 19, 2009 from 9am to Noon. Rain date is the following Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009 9am to Noon.
Volunteers should meet at Sailwinds Park-Visitor’s Center. All volunteers receive a free 2009 Coastal Clean Up T-Shirt thanks to The Ocean Conservancy and Delmarva Power. If you register with the Maryland Coordinator, you give me a tally for shirt order. Go here. Please help me get the word out to your friends, family, co-workers, customers, patrons, etc.
This is a wonderful experience for young minds too! Our youth sees the true meaning of “litterbug” and makes a life long choice to not be one. Also, to pick up any trash or debris they see in the future; even if it is not their own. So bring the children in your life…you’re giving them an amazing gift.
In addition, the kids can log onto The Ocean Conservancy website and follow the national and international debris collection data. As well as, follow the rate of global ocean clean up. (Click picture to the left for a full size version. It will open in a new window)
