Join Save Our Shores at Cowell & Main Beach this Labor Day weekend to help prevent pollution!

Registration is required.

Volunteer with us this Labor Day weekend as we engage beach visitors and encourage leave-no-trace principles, hand out trash bags to prevent litter from being left behind, and discuss why trash ending up in the ocean is harmful. 

*Please note this is NOT a cleanup event.

Meet Up Location: Please meet us at the base of the stairs to Cowell Beach.

Facilities & Accessibility: Restrooms and drinking fountains are available onsite. Parking is limited, so please plan accordingly.

How to Prepare:

• We recommend that all volunteers wear closed-toed shoes, dress in layers, wear sun protection, and bring a filled reusable water bottle. Save Our Shores encourages volunteers to avoid single-use plastics at our events. 
• Every participant must complete a volunteer waiver. We will have waivers available at the event, however, participants are encouraged to complete this paperwork in advance to save time and bring it with you on the day of the event. Anyone under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian’s signature on this document.
• Volunteers under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult (guardian) for the duration of the event.
• We recommend checking out this information from NOAA to prepare some talking points about marine debris!
