Nearly nine million volunteers from 152 countries and locations have cleaned 145 million pounds of trash from the shores of lakes, streams, rivers, and the ocean on just one day each year. Volunteers will meet on Tybee Island near the Pavilion to form smaller groups that will clean up trash on different areas of Tybee Island’s beach. Each piece of trash is recorded on data sheets that are sent to the Ocean Conservancy for input into their international data bank.
