Alliance for a Living Ocean is aiming to collaborate with Surf City to mitigate litter and hoping to generate public interest ahead of the council’s Sept. 14 meeting to reinvigorate the discussion.

“Because the council has responded positively to our proposal, we are doing this primarily to show that there is wide-scale support for a cleaner beach and the actions it would take to get there,” said Ashley Connor, chair for ALO’s issues and legislation committee.
