or five-gallon buckets. Report their location to the cleanup coordinator
or proper authorities.

the debris.

- Stay out of dune areas.
- Avoid stepping on dune
plants and beach grasses.

immediately if you see any stranded, injured or entangled animals.

injury to you or the animal.

to Bring

- Sunscreen and a hat to
protect yourself from the sun.

your feet.
- A camera to document volunteers
