Come out and join the Monterey Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, an entirely volunteer based international nonprofit marine conservation organization, for their monthly beach clean up on the third weekend of every month. Beach Clean Ups are a great way to help the environment, spend some time outdoors, meet like-minded people, and have fun. No Prior experience is needed and Surfrider Volunteers will be on hand and providing gear (gloves and bags). Everyone is welcome to join, however, children under 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult. Surfrider will also require that all participants sign a liability waiver. As with any outdoor activity, come properly prepared for the weather and dress in layers. Don't forget your water and remember your sun protection.
