A massive coastal cleanup effort removed thousands of pounds of debris from beaches, highlighting the scale of pollution facing local waterways. Organized by a leading environmental group, the event underscored the ongoing challenge of waste management in marine environments. Volunteers worked to clear discarded items, including plastics and other litter, that pose risks to wildlife and ecosystems. The results serve as a stark reminder of the persistent need for stronger waste reduction and recycling initiatives.
An estimated 19,000 pounds of trash was collected during Heal the Bay’s cleanup last year.
