Join Adventure Aquarium & Clean Ocean Action
For Spring 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 - it poses a real threat to native wildlife that 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 our ocean environment, please join Adventure Aquarium and Clean Ocean Action on Saturday April 24 at Ventnor beach for Clean Ocean Action's 25th Annual Spring Beach Sweeps!
WHEN: Saturday, April 24th from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM
WHERE: Ventnor Beach at Newport Avenue
Ventnor, NJ
*Park near the Library and playground and meet Adventure Aquarium staff at the gazebo to get your supplies and instructions.
WHAT TO BRING: Yourself and your friends! Please wear closed-toed, hard soled shoes. Dress for the weather, as Beach Sweeps will occur rain or shine. Remember, it can be chilly on the beach on an April morning! And, don't forget your sun screen!
If you have any questions, would like directions, or would like to pre-register a group of volunteers, please contact Adventure Aquarium biologist Anthony Falcone via email at afalcone@adventureaquarium.com.
