 Pollution
Prevention is Patriotic!
We would like to invite you to help us with one of
our most important beach cleanup events of the year!
As you can imagine, our beaches take a terrible hit on the
4th of July. Huge crowds of people leave tons of trash on
the beach every year on the 4th of July. Any trash that that
doesn’t get picked up, ends up in the Monterey Bay after
the next high tide. Birds, fish, turtles, and sea mammals
choke on the debris.
This year the Surfrider Foundation is partnering with other
members of the Clean Beaches Coalition in a major county-wide
pollution prevention and beach cleanup campaign. Surfrider
will be captaining the program at Seabright State Beach. It
is a two-phased strategy. Phase one will be on the afternoon
and early evening of the 4th when we will be handing out trash
bags to beach goers. Phase two is on the 5th, when we will
do a major cleanup starting at 7:30 am. We want to get an
early start and pick trash before the tide and wind flush
it into the ocean.
Pollution Prevention/Trash Bag Handout:
When: Friday, July 4th 2:00pm -
6:00pm
Where: Seabright State Beach
Beach Cleanup:

to do is register and show up at Seabright:
We need your help to
make this event a success!
