Thank you to all who joined the 27 Annual Coastal Cleanup Day to make it a huge success!  Overall, 7,500 volunteers collected 140,000 pounds of debris from 90 San Diego County locations. With your help, we removed trash and plastics that may have eventually reached our ocean. We also collected hazardous waste and invasive species, restoring our creeks and beaches to a natural state. We also found some unusual items, like two headless statues, a light post, and dentures. Did you catch the Union Tribune's live online coverage of the event with photos?

We are proud to display the winners of the Decorate Your Own Bucket contest - thanks to all who participated and to those who brought their own reusable cleanup supplies this year! Some sites were completely ZERO WASTE and we all reduced the single use plastic impact of the event. 

As always, we are so grateful to our generous Coastal Cleanup Day sponsors and individual donors. All San Diego companies should consider becoming a Coastal Cleanup Day sponsor for next year's event: set for September 15, 2012.  Its never too early to get involved.  More information can be found in the 2011 sponsorship packet; of course you can contact us with any ideas or questions in preparation for 2012.
