| In honor of World Oceans Day, the NOAA Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary office and Savannah, Ga., volunteer group Clean Coast are sponsoring three June clean-ups to remove trash from the marine and coastal environment. Together the volunteer events make up the Sweep the Reef, Sweep the Beach World Oceans Day 2006 Clean Up. On June 11 and 25, volunteer divers from area scuba clubs will dive in the sanctuary to pick debris off of the reef. The volunteers will receive special training from Gray's Reef staff to learn how to remove trash from the reef without damaging the soft corals and other invertebrates living there. The most common types of trash found within the sanctuary are fishing line, fishing gear and beverage cans. |
