Clean Ocean Action’s annual Spring Beach Sweeps take place – rain or shine – at dozens of beaches and waterways. This year, the environmental organization is asking volunteers to join the cleanup event in their community from 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday, April 13.

Here on Long Beach Island, where COA partners with nonprofit Alliance for a Living Ocean, volunteers can meet ALO members outside Wally’s Restaurant, at 712 Long Beach Blvd.
