Twice a year, Clean Ocean Action’s Beach Sweeps take place at nearly 80 different beaches and waterways throughout the state. This spring, the environmental organization is asking residents to join the cleanup event in their communities from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 1. However, due to forecasted rain and wind on Saturday, Alliance for a Living Ocean – COA’s local partner – will be holding the Long Beach Island segment of the cleanup on Sunday, April 2, instead.

JOIN THE CLEANUP: As part of its coordination efforts for Clean Ocean Action’s Beach Sweeps, held each spring and fall, ALO sets up outside Wally’s in Surf City to provide buckets, data sheets and information for volunteers. (Supplied Photo)
Volunteers can meet ALO members outside Wally’s Restaurant, at 712 Long Beach Blvd.
