Keep Martin Beautiful Wraps Up Coastal Cleanup
Contributed by: Kendall Clifford, The Firefly Group on 9/29/2008

On Saturday, September 20th , more than 1,800 volunteers representing over 30 different teams joined forces to clean up shores, rivers, beaches and other waterways for Keep Martin Beautiful's 2008 International Coastal Cleanup. Participating teams included civic groups, businesses, families, county and city personnel, and community activists.

The Cleanup isn't just about picking up trash and debris. Cleanup volunteers also collect information about the items they found, and this datawill be givento The Ocean Conservancy. The Ocean Conservancy then gathers and studies the data in order to learn more about the global debris problem, educate the public, and find solutions. This data is currently being compiled and will be available shortly!
