DESCRIPTION:Step-up and Clean-up: Take the Earth Day Shoreline and Creeks 
 Challenge!\n\nRichmond, California – April 24, 2010 – Earth Day is an 
 opportunity for citizens to take action and mitigate environmental problems 
 caused by trash and marine debris in their local watershed.  \n\nThe rusty 
 innards of a car, an old dilapidated mattress and a prehistoric personal 
 computer from the 1980s rests on a veil of plastic that consists of 
 bottles, caps and grocery bags.  Sounds like a junkyard, right?  
 Unfortunately, this list just details a few of the items found by 
 volunteers during the West Contra Costa County Creeks and Shoreline 
 Challenge on Earth Day 2009.  \n\nMarine debris and trash plague the San 
 Francisco Bay Watershed. Littering and dumping in riparian habitats has 
 long lasting, detrimental effects on local wildlife and water quality.  In 
 April 2009, The Watershed Project worked in conjunction with volunteers and 
 accomplished an astonishing feat by removing a total of 4,415 lbs of trash 
 from the Albany shoreline and Baxter, Wildcat, and San Pablo Creeks.  
 \n\nThe Watershed Project hopes to further promote San Francisco Bay 
 Watershed health by inspiring Bay Area communities to revitalize, protect, 
 and appreciate their local watershed.  Earth Day 2010 is a perfect 
 opportunity for local citizens to come out with their families, friends and 
 neighbors to participate in our Shoreline and Creeks Challenge on Saturday, 
 April 24 from 9:00am-12:00pm.   \n\nIndividuals or groups can join a 
 Shoreline and Creeks Challenge Team at one of the following sites:
