We acknowledge that we work on the traditional lands and waters of many Coast Salish Peoples, particularly the S’Klallam People, the Strong People. We respect and are grateful for this land, these waters, and the people who have inhabited them since time immemorial and who continue to steward this place for future generations.
International Coastal Cleanup
Saturday, September 16, 2023
9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
On International Coastal Cleanup Day, volunteers from around the world will work together to keep our oceans and the life in them as healthy and diverse as possible.
In partnership with WA CoastSavers, the Port Townsend Marine Science Center is sponsoring 2 beach cleanups, in Port Townsend and in the Port Hadlock area. Volunteers collect and sort debris as well as contribute data on their findings to the Ocean Conservancy's international database.
Join us on September 16, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at either of our cleanup check-in locations: Fort Worden State Park or Chimacum Corner Farmstand! From these locations, we will send folks out to local beaches to collect debris!
Find more details on our webpage here, ptmsc.org/coastal-cleanups.
As our way of saying thanks, the first 100 participants will receive a free pass to the PTMSC Aquarium and Museum, a $5 Gift Card for the PT Food Coop, and $1 off coupon for any item at the Keg and I.
