Thanks to all of you who volunteered, the DPW reported that 2460 pounds of trash were collected! Last year about 1380 pounds were collected so this is an amazing increase. It also appeared to be the highest turnout ever. Thanks to all who made this a success! Check out some great pics in the Duxbury Reporter.

October 2009

The Jones River Landing, together with Batelle and the Duxbury Beach Preservation Society, is putting together a crew to help clean up Duxbury Beach as part of the COASTSWEEP program. We need your help!

We will meet at 9 am on October 4th at the east end of the Powder Point bridge in Duxbury. Coffee and donut holes will be available in the morning and hot dogs and soda will be served for lunch. We will have bags for collection and rubber gloves. There is no age limit as whole families are encouraged to participate. Please dress appropriately for the weather that day.

Part of the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup, COASTSWEEP is the annual state-wide coastal cleanup sponsored by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), and coordinated by the Urban Harbors Institute (UHI) of the University of Massachusetts Boston. Each year thousands of COASTSWEEP volunteers take to the beaches, river banks, and seafloor to help remove debris that would otherwise pollute our oceans. Join us!
