One of the Coastal Federation's primary initiatives is to reduce the amount of marine debris littering coastal marshes, beaches and waterways. Together wtih Hammocks Beach State Park, we invite volunteers to clean up Jones Island, a small island in the White Oak River.

In addition to picking up trash, volunteers will also record data on the types and quantities of debris collected. This will help to identify the sources of debris and focus future educational and prevention efforts.

Volunteers will meet at the Hammocks Beach State Park Visitor Center by 10 a.m. on June 12.

Please wear weather-appropriate clothing that may get wet and dirty, and bring work gloves. Closed-toe shoes are required. Trash collection supplies, peanut butter sandwich fixings, water, sunscreen and bug spray will be provided.

This event is limited to 20 people and is weather-dependent. Please register below to reserve your spot.
