Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\nAs a resident of a town without a coast, I at first balked at this
\nsubmission to \u201cAround Town on the Web\u201d thinking it did not pertain
\nto us. Upon further review, I can see that our lovely shores of the
\nNorth River, our cherished parks, or other bodies of water in town may
\nbenefit from the below described efforts. Read on!
\nCOASTSWEEP Coordinator Needed in Hanover
\nCOASTSWEEP, sponsored by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone
\nManagement and coordinated by the Urban Harbors Institute at the
\nUniversity of Massachusetts Boston, is the State\u2019s annual coastal
\ncleanup program where volunteers not only remove trash but also
\ncollect important information about the types of trash they encounter.
\nThis year is COASTSWEEP\u2019s 25th anniversary and we are attempting to
\nhave a record number of cleanups. They are currently looking for an
\nindividual or organization to help coordinate a cleanup in Hanover.
\nCOASTSWEEP cleanups take place in September and October. The
\ncoordinator gets to select the location and date of the cleanup as
\nwell as recruit volunteers for their event, and over-see things on the
\nday of the event. The size of the event is not important. Cleanups can
\nhappen in parks or along any water body in town. COASTSWEEP will
\nprovide everything needed for a safe, successful cleanup, including
\ngloves, garbage bags, and data cards to record what kind of trash is
\npicked up.
\nSee their website at www.coastsweep.umb.edu<\/p>\n
for more information.
\nPlease contact Keith Cialino at 617-287-5570
\n or keith.cialino001@umb.edu
\n if you would like to sign up as a coordinator or know someone who
\nwould. <\/p>\n
