We need your help with a special project to address tsunami other marine debris! Volunteer sought for supporting community beach cleanup stations.
We are looking for beach accesses where we can post an informational sign about tsunami debris, and a dispenser for debris collection bags. We are specifically looking for locations that are not in State Parks. Our goal is to encourage as many beach goers as possible to help year-round in the effort to remove the extra debris that will be washing ashore as a result of the 2011 Japanese tsunami.
The kind of help we need:
*Ideas or information about suitable locations with a beach access--neighborhoods or communities, or environmentally active tourist facilities (hotels, private campgrounds, etc., which could get some good press coverage by cooperating with this effort).
*Several volunteers, or a local club, in each location to "Adopt a station." Duties would include restocking the bag dispenser and communicating with entities to arrange debris pick up or report troubles.
