The month of June marks the beginning of summer and also the beginning of World Oceans Month. The oceans make up approximately 70 percent of the earth and are global natural treasures providing a source of food and energy and the foundation of many aspects of life on Earth.

Throughout the month, on Wednesday, June 10, 17 and 24, the public is invited to participate at various locations along the Seashore from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to remove trash and man-made debris from our beautiful beaches.
