Coastsweep Barnstable Beach Cleanup Event

Covell's Beach and Craigville Beach Road, Centerville 

Sponsored by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and coordinated by the Urban Harbors Institute, thousands of COASTSWEEP volunteers remove debris that would otherwise pollute our oceans, beaches, lakes, and rivers.

Participants collect bag after bag of trash and debris, and record their findings onto data cards. The data is sent to the Ocean Conservancy and entered into a massive marine debris database.

This information is then analyzed and used to identify the sources of marine debris, which helps to prevent the problem in the future. 

Also, children over 6 are welcome, provided they team with their parent.

Everyone should bring gloves.  

Bags will be provided. 

To volunteer, contact Pete Fisher at  (508) 775-1637.
