Beach Sweep - September 18, 2004
Beach Sweep/River Sweep is South Carolina's largest one-day
volunteer cleanup event of its kind. Every 3rd Saturday in September,
from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., thousands of South Carolinians clear
beaches, rivers, lakes, marshes, and swamps of aquatic debris.
The cleanup, organized in 2003 by the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium
and S.C. Department of Natural Resources, has taken place annually
since 1988 – when Sea Grant first started it. The Sweep
takes place in conjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup,
coordinated by The Ocean Conservancy. Once the Sweep is over,
The Ocean Conservancy tallies all of the debris data. This data
helps us learn the sources of litter so we can stop pollution
before it starts.
