WHY: Beach Sweeps provides people with an opportunity to give back to the ocean by helping to remove litter pollution on land before it becomes harmful and even lethal to aquatic life. The data from the Beach Sweeps turns a one-day event into a legacy of information to increase public awareness and change wasteful habits, enforce litter and waste production laws, and improve policies to reduce sources of marine debris.
