Calling all beachgoers, ocean lovers, and supporters of Save the Sound!

Are you concerned with the state of our environment? Do you want to help do your part to preserve our coastlines? Sign up today as a volunteer for one of this year’s International Coastal Cleanup events!

With support from Official Sponsor Subaru of New England (https://www.subaruofnewengland.com), our friends at Connecticut Fund for the Environment/Save The Sound (https://www.ctenvironment.org/save-the-sound/) have organized beach cleanups throughout the Constitution State during September and October.

Find your favorite beach in the list below, and Save the Sound will follow up with details about how to connect with your beach’s Cleanup Captain on the day of the event.

The International Coastal Cleanup takes place each year within the months of September and October, with this year’s “big day” on September 21, 2019. Help your community and the beaches you love by picking up trash and keeping our oceans clean.

To sign up, please visit https://www.ctenvironment.org/iccregistration.

If you don’t see your beach on the list below, or if you have other questions, contact Annalisa Paltauf at apaltauf@savethesound.org.

Thanks for signing up to clean your beach!
