The Newport Surfrider Chapter Invites Volunteers to a Day at the Beach
NEWPORT, OREGON – The first of the Surfrider 2017 beach cleanups will take place on April 1 from 10am to 1pm at the following locations: Otter Rock State Beach, Beverly State Beach, Agate Beach Wayside, Nye Beach, and Yaquina Bay State Park.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Oregon Beach Bill. In the spirit of the Beach Bill, everyone is invited to participate in collecting litter and marine debris. The Surfrider Foundation’s Newport Chapter in conjunction with SOLVE will provide supplies and crew leaders at the mentioned five locations. This is an opportunity to work locally on an important environmental issue (clean beaches) and have fun. The day will be family friendly, so bring the kids to the beach. A BBQ will be held after the event at the Yaquina Bay State Park at 1pm.
