Annual Adopt-a-Beach™ Spring Kickoff Event
What: Annual spring event in which Adopt a Beach™ teams visit their beaches to collect data. When: April 20 - May 3, 2009. Adopters pick a day to participate during this period. Where: Adopters participate at their adopted beach. Who: Returning Adopt a Beach™ teams and new teams. The Spring Kickoff is a great opportunity for new teams to join the program. Why: The Spring Kickoff is an opportunity for adopters to be part of this important event to rid our beaches and shorelines of trash and to record valuable information about the trash collected and water quality conditions. Information gathered at this event is used to make positive changes for our Great Lakes. We are currently making improvements to the Adopt a Beach™ Program. As a result, our online database is off-line. To get new visit forms and learn more about our changes, contact your state coordinator for the Adopt a Beach™ Program.
