You will learn about the importance of preventing plastic at its source, and how to help your favorite restaurants do just that. Then from 2-4pm, we will host a barbeque and prep for the beach cleanup. These activities are limited to ~30 participants so make sure to reserve a PFC Workshop & BBQ ticket when registering on Eventbrite. Then we will do a beach cleanup & BioBlitz as the sun starts to set, from 4-6pm! Help remove marine debris, collect trash data, and collect sediment samples for the Black in Marine Science team to analyze for biodiversity. This portion of the day is open to ~150 people, and walk ups are welcome! But please still register for the Cleanup on Eventbrite to help us have an accurate headcount for gear needs.
