As part of COASTSWEEP Beach Cleanup, volunteers are encouraged to come to Front Beach to help in the COASTSWEEP statewide effort to keep our coastline clean along the shore of Rockport Massachsuetts. Trash collected will be measured and analyzed, and the data will be sent to Washington DC to aid the government in creating legislation to minimize trash in our oceans! This specific cleanup is coordinated by Seaside Sustainability.
What to Bring: Appropriate clothes for being on the coast, hat, sunscreen, water, snack, thin gloves optional, hand sanitizer, and a friend or two! Seaside Sustainability will supply everything you’ll need for the cleanups.
Seaside Sustainability's mission is to preserve and protect the world's oceans, seas, ecosystems, and communities by motivating citizens to evaluate the critical issues facing the water environment, educating the public on best practices for sustainability, and providing guidance for taking effective action.
