The International Coastal Cleanup is a chance to clear trash from local beaches while recording information that will play a key role in environmental studies around the world.
A beach cleanup for all ages International Coastal Cleanup returns to the harbor By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com
Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor is gearing up for its annual International Coastal Cleanup, set for Sept. 21. The event, which will be held across four beaches around Hempstead Harbor, marks a return to the cleanup initiative after last year’s event was canceled due to flooding. Lisa Cashman, associate director of CSHH, explained that last year’s cleanup was called off because a massive storm caused extreme coastal flooding, making it unsafe for volunteers. “We didn’t feel it was safe to invite families to the locations where we were planning,” Cashman said. “Roads leading to the beaches
were flooded, and we needed to err on the side of caution.” Despite the setback, the International Coastal Cleanup is more than just a local cleanup effort. In partnership with the Ocean Conservancy and the American Littoral Society, the event contributes to a global data-collection effort aimed to track and address marine debris. Volunteers at the cleanup will document and catalog the types and quantities of trash collected, which is then entered into a worldwide database. This data helps identify trends in pollution and forms long-term solutions for managing marine debris. The event will span four key locations: Town of North Hempstead Beach Park, TapCONTINUED ON PAGE 4
