30th Annual
2015
Each year, on the third Saturday in September, volunteers from around the world join together to clean beaches, rivers and other waterways. This year 1,539 volunteers cleaned 7,475 pounds of trash in Volusia County. Volunteers worked together to document every piece of trash they found using standardized trash tally data cards. This information is used by the Ocean Conservancy to produce the world’s only state-by-state, country-by-country Marine Debris Index.
