Opportunity Details
Agate Beach Cleanup - Surfrider Foundation - Newport Chapter
Help us protect marine life and maintain the beauty of our coast in honor of Earth Day! This beach cleanup is family-friendly, and volunteers of all ages will find the event fun and rewarding. Remember our ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water. Keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert your Beach Captain. And remember, it’s more fun to work as part of a team. Bring a buddy, stay safe and have fun!
