Clean Oceans International is fostering a new Clean Oceans Albany community group to adopt Albany Beach and gather data about plastics every month (or every other month if we have lots of volunteer teams).
There's a training session from 9 to noon on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. Meet on the beach...look for the huddle of people holding buckets, trowels, measuring tapes, and clipboards.
Parking is very tight at the Albany waterfront. Carpool, get dropped off, walk, or bike if you can.
Bring a water bottle. (There's no drinking water at the Albany waterfront.) Wear shoes; there can be glass or sharp items. There are often dogs, kids, and kiteboarders.
There are bathrooms above the beach. The beach isn't all that easily wheelchair-accessible, although the entrance along the Bay Trail (near the parking lot parallel to the beach) has a long sand mat.
This Clean Oceans International initiative is promoted here by Point Isabel Dog Owners as part of our commitment to keeping our shoreline clean.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT DAVID SCHWARTZ, COI EDUCATION DIRECTOR, AT davids@cointl.org
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
