Join Adventure Aquarium and Clean Ocean Action for Beach Sweeps!

Did you know that it can take up to five years for cigarette butts to biodegrade, and up to 600 years for fishing line? Every year millions of pieces of trash end up along the New Jersey shore lines, this trash does more than just ruin the aesthetic of our beautiful beaches, but it poses a real threat to native wildlife who may become entangled in trash or accidentally ingest it.

When: Saturday, October 22, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m
Where: Ventnor Beach, NJ. Meet Adventure Aquarium Staff at the Ventnor Beach Library (6500 Atlantic Avenue) to get your supplies and instructions.
What to Bring: Yourself and your friends.
What to Wear: Please wear closed-toed, hard soled shoes. Dress for the weather, Beach Sweeps will occur rain or shine, and remember that it can be chilly on the beach in October.

Snacks will be provided for participants while supplies last!

Clean Ocean Action began state wide bi-annual beach sweeps in 1985, collecting trash as well as valuable data about marine debris in our area. This data helps spread the word about the dangers marine debris poses to wildlife and humans and also shapes policies and programs to reduce litter in our area.
