Friends of Netarts Bay – WEBS and Oceanside Action Partnership invites community members, families, and visitors to join us on July 5th for a beach clean up from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares.
Volunteers will work together to remove marine debris and litter left behind after the Fourth of July festivities. Cleanups provide a great opportunity to come together as a community to make a positive difference; every piece of trash removed protects our local coastal ecosystems and prevents harm to seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and other wildlife. “Healthy beaches benefit both people and wildlife,” said Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator.
Check in begins at 10:00 a.m. Volunteers can start at The Schooner Restaurant or the upper parking lot at Oceanside beach; we will have check-in tables at both locations! Volunteers will be split into teams in order to cover as much area as possible!
AND be sure to stick around after the cleanup for a special treat just for volunteers – The Schooner will be grilling up fresh oysters from Pearl Point Oyster here in Netarts to thank you for keeping our coastal ecosystems clean!!
Volunteers should dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear, and bring a water bottle. Gloves, trash grabbers, and a limited number of buckets will be provided. Please bring your own bucket if you have one!
As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that 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 or unattended beach fires, please alert a staff member.
The event is free and open to the public. No previous experience is necessary, and volunteers of all ages are welcome. Youth under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Advanced registration saves time but is not required. To register and read more about this event, visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
