COASTSWEEP is the annual state-wide coastal cleanup sponsored by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), and coordinated by the Urban Harbors Institute (UHI) of the University of Massachusetts Boston. COASTSWEEP has helped thousands of volunteers clean hundreds of miles of shoreline and riverbanks over the past 20 years.

Please consider volunteering for a clean up during COASTSWEEP '08. In the meantime, follow the links above to learn more about what you can do to reduce marine debris.

CZM and UHI would like to thank Loree Burns, author of "Tracking Trash: Flotsam, Jetsam, and the Science of Ocean Motion", for donating some fantastic prizes to COASTSWEEP '07.
