Come participate in the International Coastal Cleanup at Save The Bay's headquarters in Providence! At this event, we will clean up the shore and record what we find on data sheets. The resulting data will be included in the Ocean Conservancy's annual report on marine debris.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The address for our building is 100 Save The Bay Drive, Providence, RI. To get to our building you have to drive through the Johnson & Wales Harborside Campus. Your GPS may try to take you through the Ernest St/Shipyard St entrance - but don't go that way unless you have a JWU pass to get through that gate. Instead, go to the Harborside Blvd entrance on Narragansett Blvd. Use 1015 Narragansett Blvd, Cranston, RI 02905 to get to the entrance and then go all the way down the hill, through the campus, and follow the road all the way to the end (it takes a sharp turn to the right but that's the only way you can go).
Save The Bay will provide the trash bags, data cards, pencils, and disposable gloves. All volunteers should dress for the weather and wear clothes they don't mind getting dirty. Closed-toed shoes are required. All volunteers must be able to do some light to moderate bending and lifting. Volunteers under 16 must participate with an adult. Volunteers must have their own transportation to the event. All volunteers are encouraged to bring their own reusable gloves, water bottle and snacks to the cleanup event. Teams are welcome!
Please complete our waiver and bring it with you THE DAY OF the event. We will have extra copies on hand if you are unable to print. Volunteers under 18 must have their waiver signed by a parent.
Any trouble signing up? Just email volunteer@savebay.org or call July Lewis at 401-272-3540 x130 and we'll get you registered!
