Looking for a good reason to go to Chincoteague?
Annual Beach Cleanup Slated For September 22, 2018
Refuge staff and volunteers invite you to join them on Saturday, September 22
for the Annual Beach Cleanup at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
Registration will begin at 8:00 am at the Herbert H. Bateman Educational and
Administrative Center parking lot.
The Annual Beach Cleanup is part of the International Coastal Cleanup sponsored
by The Ocean Conservancy and Virginia Clean Waterways. Marine debris is a
pervasive problem that threatens ocean health. We all depend on the oceans for
food, recreation, transportation, and even for much of the oxygen we breathe.
We all have a responsibility to care for our oceans and the life they hold.
Participating in the Beach Cleanup is a positive, active way to show you value
clean oceans and waterways. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish in one
day, and what you learn about yourself, your neighbors, and your environment.
We hope you’ll join us. Be sure to bring water, sunscreen, and wear comfortable
footwear. Trash bags, gloves, and data sheets will be provided. Participants
will receive a free T-shirt while supplies last and the refuge entrance fee
will be waived.
This year’s Beach Cleanup is sponsored by Accomack County, Assateague Island
National Seashore, Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce, Chincoteague National
Wildlife Refuge, Chincoteague Natural History Association, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource
Management, The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, The Ocean Conservancy,
Virginia Clean Waterways and the Town of Chincoteague.
