Did you know it takes nearly 100 volunteers to make the Cleanup happen?
Volunteers are instrumental to the success of the Cleanup and do everything from monitoring diver safety to helping sort the thousands of pounds of trash removed from Avalon Harbor. Are you or any of your non-diver friends interested in how they can participate? Visit the online signup sheet to learn about the various volunteer opportunities.
