COASTSWEEP The Massachusetts Annual Statewide Beach Cleanup Volunteers throughout Massachusetts turn out in large numbers each year for COASTSWEEP, the state-wide beach cleanup sponsored by CZM and the Urban Harbors Institute of UMass Boston. COASTSWEEP will kick-off its 22nd year on September 19, 2009. COASTSWEEP is also part of an international campaign organized by The Ocean Conservancy in Washington, DC. Participants all over the world collect marine debris and record the types of trash they collect. This information is then used to help reduce future marine debris problems. Each year, cleanups are scheduled throughout September and October. To get involved with the 2009 event, or review the 2008 cleanups, go to the COASTSWEEP website at: www.coastsweep.umb.edu.
