Help SOLVE clear the entire Oregon Coast of litter
OREGON COAST — Kick off
Earth Month with SOLVE’s
32nd annual Spring Beach
Cleanup from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. Saturday, April 1.
SOLVE welcomes vol-
unteers of all ages to join to-
gether in clearing the entire
Oregon Coast of litter and
marine debris. Every spring
and fall, volunteers from
across Oregon head to the
beach as part of SOLVE’s
twice-annual coastwide
cleanups.
This home-grown tra-
dition benefi ts people and
wildlife alike, supporting
clean seas and healthy com-
munities.
This year’s event marks
the 50th Anniversary of the
Oregon Beach Bill, which
granted public recreational
access to beaches along all
362 miles of coastline. This
landmark piece of legisla-
tion has contributed to what
makes Oregon such a unique
place to live and visit.
“Oregon’s public beaches
are unique to our state,
providing the basis for many
of the beloved cultural and
recreational activities that
contribute to our identity as
Oregonians,” said Tim Mor-
gan, CEO of AAA Oregon.
“The coast is shared by all
of us, and the Spring Oregon
Beach Cleanup provides the
opportunity to join together
to keep it clean and healthy.”
When: The SOLVE
Spring Oregon Beach Clean-
up will take place 10 a.m.

Why: From the thou-
sand-pound fi shing net to the
tiniest piece of plastic in the
sand, litter and marine debris
on Oregon’s coast is an issue
that affects everyone, threat-
ening the health of our envi-
ronment and impacting the
economy. Every year, fi sh,
shorebirds and other wildlife
ingest and become entangled
in discarded debris, and it’s
preventable.
“The chance to walk in
a quiet place and make it
cleaner, safer, and more
pristine is priceless,” said
John Andersen, SOLVE
beach captain in Netarts,
“We have a duty to be stew-
ards for all creatures that
exist now or will exist in
the future, and these annual
cleanups are a big part of
the solution.
Come Prepared: Wear
sturdy shoes and dress ap-
propriately for the weather.
All cleanup supplies will be
provided. Volunteers who
would like to help make
the event more sustainable
are encouraged to bring
their own reusable bucket
and work gloves. The most
common items found during
this event are broken pieces
of plastic and cigarette butts,
which are harmful to local
wildlife. Bring an old colan-
der to sift the tide lines for
these tiny pieces.
