DESCRIPTION:Join the 25th Anniversary of the California Coastal Cleanup for\nAlbany & 
 Richmond Shorelines Clean Up Events\n\nOn September 19th, International 
 Coastal Cleanup Day is back to stir up volunteer activity on the shores of 
 Albany and Richmond. Gather your family, friends and neighbors to actively 
 beautify our local shorelines!\n\nYou can also join the cleanup efforts 
 further upstream, along Cerrito Creek, to help stop the debris where it 
 starts. Whatever your preference, the day is guaranteed to be fun, 
 engaging, satisfying to everyone joining this worldwide effort to help our 
 environment! All around the bay and all around the world volunteers have 
 gathered for the past 25 years in a push to clean shorelines and raise 
 awareness surrounding ocean and beach pollution. Volunteers record and 
 tally the trash cleaned up at the shorelines for the Ocean Conservancy’s 
 database where it will be used to analyze the global crisis of trash in our 
 oceans.\n\nThe International Shoreline Cleanup is the largest event of its 
 kind - over 76 countries participate every year. Last year along the coast 
 of California some 73,461 volunteers at 750 locations cleaned 1.6 million 
 pounds of trash, of which almost 200,000 pounds of debris was recycled. 
 Proud Californian volunteers have the unique opportunity to work together 
 on the same day to show the world they care about the fate of their oceans, 
 bays and shorelines.\n\n“The Watershed Project is pleased to engage 
 communities in the East Bay to become part of the largest international 
 volunteer effort in the world – Coastal Cleanup Day. From Albany to Point 
 Pinole, the East Bay shoreline will be teeming with volunteers. We hope 
 that citizens walk away form these events with a new sense of stewardship 
 for their shoreline and an increased awareness of the dangers of marine 
 debris for wildlife and habitat.”\n\nLinda Hunter, Executive 
 Director\n\nInternational Coastal Cleanup Day\nSeptember 19, 2009\n9am –
