In
its 21st year, COASTSWEEP continues to bring thousands of volunteers to
the Massachusetts shoreline and seafloor to participate in the state's
annual coastal cleanup and marine debris tracking program. Volunteers
not only help to make Massachusetts' shorelines and water bodies cleaner
and safer, but they also record information about the types and amounts
of debris collected at each site. This information is sent to the Ocean
Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup program where the data is
analyzed and used to develop programs aimed at reducing marine debris
world-wide. For press-related questions, please contact Kristin Uiterwyk at 617-287-5570 or by email at kristin.uiterwyk@umb.edu.
