Big crowds are expected for the 2023 Clean Ocean Action Beach Sweeps coming to a beach near you on April 1st.
The Clean Ocean Action organization has been putting together the “beach sweep” for many years, but recent whale deaths along the Jersey Shore and Long Island have brought a renewed interest in the health of local waters.
So here’s what you need to know about the Spring 2023 Beach Sweeps:
Firstly: Pick a location, there’s tons of beach clean up spots up and down the Jersey Shore; from the Bay Shore region down to Cape May. Secondly, pre-register.
- The spring event is April 1st from 9am ’til 12:30
- Bring your own bucket
- Wear some sturdy shoes or boots
- Gloves might be a good idea
- If it doesn’t belong on the beach, pick it up
Volunteers from 7 to 70 years of age are welcome to participate in the Clean Ocean Action Beach Sweep happening rain or shine on April 1st. Click here for the registration form. Click here for more general information.
