This Saturday is Coastal Cleanup Day!
- "Our ocean, rivers, and lakes have a problem with trash. Marine debris that collects in the ocean can sicken, injure, or kill countless marine mammals, sea turtles and birds that ingest or are entangled in trash. It can also pose immediate risks to human health when items that leach toxic materials or medical waste enters the environment." - excerpt from Ocean Conservancy's Coastal Cleanup Day website.
