- Clean Ocean Action’s Beach Sweeps: Celebrating 30 years of citizen science
- Clean Ocean Action (COA) is an ocean-advocacy group based on Sandy Hook in NJ. Since its inception in 1984, COA works with a coalition of 125 groups to protect the waters of the NY Bight.
- The overall mission of COA is to protect the degraded water quality of the NY Bight using education, science, policy and citizen action.
- COA’s Beach Sweeps program began in 1985 with just 75 volunteers at 1 location and has expanded to 70+ locations with thousands of volunteers
- Each volunteer becomes a citizen scientist for the day by tracking each piece of debris that they are picking up. This data is compiled into a report each year and helps COA monitor trends through the years.
