The Clean Water Now! Coalition
leads the way in this statewide event each year for Laguna Beach.
As designated by the California Coastal Commission (CCC), Roger
Butow will serve as "BEACH CAPTAIN."
The 2007 Coastal Cleanup Day was a success! Thanks to all who participated! We removed 3,280 pounds of trash, plus 696 pounds of recyclable refuse. That's 3,976 pounds of stuff that shouldn't be on our beaches or in our tidepools! Great job folks! Thanks!
This one-day-a-year--now international event--includes a score card
of detritus, separated by weight (recycle and non-recycle items)
found while collecting litter on the beach. Unusual items are also
noted: refrigerators, car tires, shopping carts, you name it, have
been found in the past. Other affiliates remove trash from the inland
canyons and streambeds.
