SUMMARY:TRIO Upward Bound\, Nye Beach\, Newport\, OR - February Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:TRIO Upward Bound\, Nye Beach\, Newport\, OR\n \nBeach cleanups are an essential part of maintaining the health and beauty of our oceans and communities. By participating in a beach cleanup\, individuals can make a significant impact on reducing marine debris and promoting a cleaner environment. Beach cleanups are a great way to get involved in community service\, meet like-minded individuals\, and enjoy the outdoors while making a difference. \nThere are various types of beach cleanups\, including community beach cleanups\, private beach cleanups\, and corporate cleanups. Community beach cleanups are open to the public and are usually held on a regular basis\, such as the first Saturday of every month. Private beach cleanups can be scheduled by contacting the Ocean Institute and require a minimum of eight participants. Corporate cleanups are a great way for companies to give back to the community and promote team-building. \nSignup\nOnline Event Registration RSVP FormPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *How did you hear about this event?Friend or colleagueRadio / TVSocial MediaOtherIf OtherNumber of tickets needed *12345Choose Date/Time *DateTimeSubmit  \nBenefits of Beach Cleanups\n\nBeach cleanups offer numerous benefits\, including: \n\nReducing marine debris and promoting a cleaner ocean\nProviding community service hours for individuals and groups\nPromoting environmental awareness and education\nFostering community engagement and teamwork\nEnhancing the beauty and recreational value of beaches\n\nBeach Cleanup Near Me with Ocean Blue​\nJoin us and the Ocean Blue Project in efforts to maintain safe food chains\, water sources\, and to enable marine life and seabirds to survive. Thousands of volunteers have helped in beach cleaning activities since 2012. Together\, we can make our interconnected One World Ocean healthier for future generations and remove five million pounds of plastic by 2025! Join our ongoing beach cleaning activities and if you don’t see a event on line email and we can create one. \n\nWhen participating in a beach cleanup\, you can expect: \n\nA fun and rewarding experience making a difference in your community\nA brief orientation and instructions on how to participate\nA variety of tasks\, such as picking up trash\, sorting recyclables\, and weighing in collected trash\nOpportunities to meet new people and make friends\nA sense of accomplishment and pride in contributing to a cleaner environment\nPlastic in the Ocean\n\n\nWe know there’s a lot of plastic in the Ocean. Ocean Blue volunteers have helped remove thousands of pounds of plastic\, including single-use plastic\, from coastlines\, bays and beaches coast to coast. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, 79% of all beach debris is made of plastic. It flows in and out of the ocean\, wreaking havoc on seabirds and marine organisms\, and ultimately on humans. \n\nThe ocean is a mirror that reflects what is in our city streets. Rain\, flash flooding or high winds washes litter and debris downhill\, into street drains\, urban streams\, rivers\, lakes\, and eventually into the ocean. When it gets there depends on how far from the ocean you live. Plastic does not decompose; instead\, it breaks down into tiny microplastics and harmful chemicals. These enter the water supply\, and then the digestive tracts of humans and animals\, threatening our water quality\, our health\, and wildlife. \n  \n\n\nPlastic in the Ocean Facts\n\n\n  \nPlastic pollution stretches from shorelines and the ocean surface to deep in the seabed. Of hundreds of millions of tons produced each year\, only a tiny percentage is recycled. Most are poorly disposed of or leak from landfills and incineration facilities. According to a report by the United Nations (UN) Environment Programme: \nMillions of marine animals have died from plastic pollution in oceans. \nEvery year\, between ten and twenty million tons of plastic waste escape into oceanic waters. \nBy the year 2050\, the ocean is projected to have more plastic by weight than fish. \n  \n\n\nHow to Save the Ocean from Pollution\n\n\nCleanups raise awareness and promote healthy environments\, watersheds\, and clean water projects that save the ocean from pollution. With a group\, organization\, friends or family\, or even on your own\, you can volunteer to help anytime\, anywhere. Additionally\, there are numerous volunteer opportunities for beach cleanups\, regularly updated on platforms like Facebook\, especially for events organized by Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful. \nThere are several ways to help. It’s simple. Together\, though beach cleaning activities we can make a vast difference\, one person\, one step at a time. We’ll provide all the tools and instructions you need to save the ocean from pollution! Be sure to register your cleanup event eight weeks in advance for the best possible cleanup experience. \n\n\nCollecting Plastic Debris Saves Lives\n\n\nOur mission is to prevent the devastating effects of ocean pollution and educate communities along the way. Whether you’re a party of one or one hundred\, every pound of plastic removed from a beach\, shoreline\, waterway or urban area helps stop plastic from polluting oceans\, breaking down into microplastics and harmful chemicals\, and hurting or killing marine wildlife. \nCigarette butts are a common type of trash collected during beach cleanups. \n\n\nOne Piece of Plastic and One Life at a Time\n\n\n  \nEvery piece of plastic you recover from our environment allows greater chances of survival for marine life and seabirds. We can rescue them from harm simply by cleaning up the environment\, one piece of plastic at a time. Even removing a few pieces can save lives of seabirds\, penguins\, eagles\, fish\, dolphins\, seals\, whales\, pinnipeds\, manatees\, sea turtles\, and many other creatures. No quantity or piece of plastic collected is too small!
