Volunteers will check in at 9am and collect debris until 10:30am.
While volunteers participate in a clean-up effort, there will be anglers fishing in the tournament and bringing in their catches to biologists. Stick around and watch them take samples and record data!
From 10:30-Noon, biologists, researchers, and partner organizations will have tables set up with different activities and seminars. Clean-up volunteers can stay and participate. If you would like to attend both the clean-up and the seminars, please register for both events. More details can be found on our Seminars page.
