NCCF Shoreline Cleanup at Wards Creek
One of the North Carolina Coastal Federation’s primary initiatives is to reduce the amount of marine debris littering coastal and waterways. Since marine debris can be harmful to wildlife, coastal habitats and the local economy, we invite volunteers to help us clean up the shoreline surrounding Wards Creek in Down East Carteret County. In addition to picking up trash, volunteers will also record data on the types and quantities of debris collected. This will help to identify sources of debris and focus educational and prevention efforts. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing that may get wet and dirty. Closed-toed shoes are required. Boots are appropriate if you choose
