DESCRIPTION:Coastal Cleanup Day is the largest volunteer event on the planet. 
 Volunteers in over 100 countries around the world come together with one 
 goal: preventing hundreds of thousands of pounds of pollution from trashing 
 our oceans and harming marine wildlife. \n\nSanta Cruz County: Pre-register 
 and find your cleanup 
 sites...\nhttp://www.saveourshores.org/what-we-do/accd-sc-county.php\n\nMonterey 
 County: Pre-register and find your cleanup 
 sites...\nhttp://www.saveourshores.org/what-we-do/accd-monterey-county.php\n\nLast 
 year, 4,580 Save Our Shores volunteers at 80 cleanup sites throughout Santa 
 Cruz and Monterey Counties worked together to remove over 17,000 lbs. of 
 pollution in just 3 hours - WOW!! In California, over 63,000 volunteers 
 banded together to cleanup over 590,000 lbs. of pollution. We love our 
 volunteers!!\n\nWe encourage all of our volunteers to Bring Your Own 
 reusable bags, buckets, water bottles, and gloves to help lower the carbon 
 footprint of this huge, community effort, though all cleanup materials will 
 be provided. Pre-register via the links at the top of this page and we'll 
 see you out there on September 15!\n\nSite Captains lead the way to clean 
 oceans:\n\nThe success of Annual Coastal Cleanup Day depends on the 
 leadership of our Site Captains. You'll attend a brief training session in 
 early September, and then just arrive early on Sept. 15 to sign-in your 
 volunteers! Whether you are a regular SOS volunteer, or this is your very 
 first time, participating in Coastal Cleanup Day is exciting and easy. 
 Contact volunteer@saveourshores.org.\n \nWhat to expect as a 
 volunteer:\n\nVolunteers arrive at their cleanup site at 9am ready to get 
 to work! \nPre-registration (see links above) is encouraged, but is not 
 mandatory. Bringing your own waiver form will also save you time. You may 
 also pre-register and sign a waiver form once you arrive at the 
 cleanup.\n\nPlease Note: For river cleanup sites, close-toed shoes, rubber 
 boots, and heavy/garden gloves will help keep you clean and dry.\n\nAt the 
 cleanup: your Site Captain will sign you in, distribute cleanup supplies, 
 and provide a safety briefing. We encourage all volunteers to Bring Your 
 Own reusable bags, buckets, gloves, and reusable water bottle to lower the 
 carbon footprint of this event. Find more BYO ideas from the Coastal 
 Commission...\nSCUBA Divers: To register for a SCUBA cleanup at the Santa 
 Cruz Wharf, \nplease stay tuned for information in 2012.\n\nKayak Cleanups: 
 To register for a kayak cleanup, please stay tuned for information in 
 2012.\n\nFor School Groups: \n\nOne thing we know for sure - kids care 
 about the ocean and it's many amazing critters!\n\nYou can organize your 
 own campus, neighborhood, or beach cleanup anytime from September 6-15, or 
 have your students participate at one of our many cleanups on September 
 15.\n\nYou may also be interested in having an SOS representative visit 
 your classroom to give a presentation and lesson about marine debris, 
 coastal ecology, and plastic pollution. \nEmail volunteer@saveourshores.org
