International Coastal Cleanup at Scarborough Square
LRNow hosts cleanups along our Virginia Beach waterways to remove marine debris, improve water quality, and keep our city’s waters healthy and safe. Cleanups may be land-based and/or water-based depending on the location chosen for any given month. Please review all details carefully so you know what to expect when you arrive.
The September Cleanup will be at Scarborough Square Park North - land and water based opportunities available.
This cleanup is part of CVW's Virginia Waterways Cleanup, the local affiliate of Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup. Since 1995, with the help of over 131,000 volunteers, this event has removed 5.1 million pounds of debris from Virginia’s shores and waterways. But there’s still work to be done, and we need YOUR help to continue this important mission!
Please register if you plan to participate in a cleanup so you do not miss important information. Coordinators email details about meetup locations, dress, safety concerns and weather updates to registered participants by email. If dangerous weather cancels or postpones a cleanup, registered participants will receive an email by 8 am the day of the cleanup.
Appropriate dress and shoe wear are required. Cleanups usually occur in brushy, thorny, and muddy terrain which require full body protection. Closed-toed, sturdy shoes that can get wet and dirty should be worn for land-based cleanups. Water shoes are appropriate in kayaks only. Bare feet are never permitted. Hats, sunscreen, insect repellent and a reusable water bottle are recommended.
