Coastal Cleanup 2009 Results

At last year's California Coastal Cleanup Day event in San Diego County, 10,283 volunteers came out to help clean up local coastal and inland communities. These dedicated volunteers removed 173,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from 165 miles of shoreline, including six cleanup sites across the border, a kayak site in Mission Bay, and four underwater sites in San Diego Bay.

California Coastal Cleanup Day is organized locally by San Diego Coastkeeper and I Love A Clean San Diego and statewide by the California Coastal Commission and it takes place throughout California in 48 counties. This year, 75,000 participants removed over 1 million pounds of debris from 1,700 miles of California coastal and inland areas.
