The 19th Annual Mississippi Coastal Cleanup took
place on Saturday, September 15, 2007. More than 3,400
volunteers collected over 3,484 bags (about 53,800 pounds) of
trash along 159 miles of Mississippi Gulf Coast and barrier islands (2007 final results)
waterways. The cleanup, which usually focuses on the Coast's mainland
and barrier island beaches and waterways, has expanded to include
lakes, rivers, marshes, bayous, estuaries, and other watershed
locations in the marine waters extending as far north as Interstate 10.
This year's cleanup included more than 57 sites in Hancock, Harrison
and Jackson counties. Please feel free to print out the data card and read it over. On cleanup day, each pair of volunteers will receive a data card like this to identify the trash they pick up. You must complete the data card and turn it in to your zone captain to receive your thank you gift. Zone captains may also wish to have a look at the Zone Captain's Handbook (14 MB!). We also have a data card in Spanish for our Hispanic volunteers! If you are interested in advertising the Cleanup, we invite you to print out and post these flyers and posters. Please remember to obtain permission before advertising on someone's property! Thank you to all our volunteers and zone captains (who sat in the hot sun) and we hope you will join us again next year! Download the official pledge form, fill it out, and fax it back to us! This pledge form is required for Mississippi residents under the age of 21. Non-Mississippi residents 18 and older are not required to fill out a pledge form. The pledge form is optional, but encouraged, for our adult volunteers. |
