2008 Cleanup
Major Sponsors:
NH Coastal Program,
Waste Management, FPL Seabrook
Station
 On
one Saturday in September, thousands of volunteers from over 90
countries clean a coastal area as part of the
International Coastal Cleanup, the largest one-day volunteer event
of its kind.
We'll be coordinating this year's International
Coastal Cleanup (ICC) in New Hampshire, thanks to funding from the
New
Hampshire Coastal Program and major sponsorship from Waste
Management!
The ICC
was begun by the Ocean Conservancy (formerly the Center for Marine
Conservation) 22 years ago at a beach in Texas, and has grown to a
worldwide event involving 90 countries. For more information
on the cleanup overall, visit
