Join international coastal cleanup, John U. Lloyd Park on Sept. 25
2010 marks the 25th annual international coastal cleanup hosted by Ocean Conservancy. Do your part! Grab your gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen and enjoy a morning in the sun -as well as clean up our beaches.
When: September 25th from 9:00 am -12:00pm
Where: John U. Lloyd Park
Following last years success, students from Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center (NSUOC) will again be organizing the cleanup efforts at John U. Lloyd State Park.
Every year, the Ocean Conservancy leads more than half-a-million people in 100 countries remove millions of pounds of trash from beaches and waterways all over the world -and collect data on what they find. Come out and help in the efforts to make the oceans and your local beaches a cleaner, healthier place.
You can register at www.oceanconservancy.org . If you are part of a group that wishes to clean a certain area together, each individual must sign up on the Ocean Conservancy website, but also email Stephanie Healey at with the name of your group and the number of people who will be participating. You will be designated a specific area of the beach to clean.
