The City of Ocean City and Clean Ocean Action will sponsor the 30th annual Spring Beach Sweep 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 25.
All individuals, students, organizations and families are invited to join the semiannual “counted cleanup” sweep along the beaches in Ocean City.
Clean Ocean Action uses data cards to record the litter collected and enters the information into a national database of marine debris. Participants form teams of two or three people to pick up and record the litter on the beach.
Volunteers will be assigned to a beach and issued cleanup supplies and data cards. Check in is at the Ocean City Music Pier (on the Boardwalk between Eighth and Ninth streets) or at the 58th Street beach pavilion.

All volunteers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear. For more information or to register a group, please call 609-399-6111 ext 9799.
