Spring Beach Sweep

The Ocean City Clean Communities Program, the Ocean City Environmental Commission and Clean Ocean Action are sponsoring a Spring Beach Sweep. All residents, schools, business groups and families are invited to participate.

Organizers will form teams of volunteers to pick up litter on the beach. Participants will record the collected litter on data cards which will be entered into a national database of marine debris.

The City asks volunteers to meet at the Music Pier (Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace) or at the 57th Street beach to receive instructions and supplies.

Clean Ocean Action’s Beach Sweeps is one of the longest running in the world, dating back to 1985. More than 85,000 volunteers remove more than 4.5 million pieces of trash from New Jersey’s beaches, rivers, lakes and streams during semiannual cleanups.
