WhereDaily News: Surfrider Volunteers Tackle San Diego's Post-Fourth of July Morning After Mess
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 2, 2014) - Thousands of residents and visitors will flock to San Diego County's beaches to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday next week. However, if they were to visit that same coastline the morning after they would find the sight to be slightly less beautiful due to the thousands of pounds of trash that's expected to be left behind. Thankfully, the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter will be leading the cleanup efforts and they're asking the community to join them. On Saturday, July 5th, the Surfrider Foundation invites beach-lovers of all ages to join in the Morning After Mess cleanup series hosted from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Ocean Beach Pier, Belmont Park in Mission Beach, Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach and the Oceanside Pier. The Surfrider Foundation will host the Ocean Beach Pier and Oceanside Pier sites. Partner organizations I Love A Clean San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper will host the Belmont Park and Crystal Pier sites. Bags and gloves will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own reusable bag or bucket, and gloves to cut down on single-use plastic waste. Participants under the age of 18 will need a parent or legal guardian to sign for them. There is no need to pre-register.
