The City of Ocean City and Clean Ocean Action (COA) will sponsor the 29th annual Fall Beach Sweep 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25.
All residents, 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 clean up supplies and data cards.
Check in is at the Ocean City Music Pier, located at Moorlyn Terrace and Boardwalk.
