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. If you would like to help save the lives of New Jersey's native marine life and help protect ocean environment please join Adventure Aquarium's green committee and Clean Ocean Action on Saturday October 24th at Ventnor Beach for Clean Ocean Action's 24th Annual Fall Beach Sweep!

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.
