“Great Coastal Clean-Up of the northern Gulf of California” event this Saturday!  October 27th!

If you want to participate in Puerto Peñasco at the CEDO / Las Conchas Clean-Up site: we will be meeting at the CEDO field station’s main Agustín Cortez building at 8am sharp on Saturday morning, October 27^th, 2018.

If you would like to participate at an alternative site (near Puerto Peñasco) with one of our Peñasco-Lobos Biological & Fisheries Corridor communities, please email: paloma@cedo.org as soon as possible.

All participants, please:

• Download the Ocean Conservancy’s “Clean Swell Application” onto your smart phone if you have not already. Have a millennial help you if you do not know how;) The poster and link to the tutorial video below will help guide you!

• Arrive at your pre-identified clean-up site (or at CEDO) at 8 am with your team and present yourself for registration. If you do not have the Clean Swell App you will be given data collection sheets instead.

• You and your team will be given gloves + bags / sacks, but please bring:
• hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, long sleeves, a camera, close-toed shoes, water, snacks, a first-aid kit (if you have one) and a fun bit of clothing that makes you stand out for this year’s theme: “#SuitUpToCleanUp”.
• Event t-shirts will be available at CEDO. By purchasing an event t-shirt, tote bag, and/or water bottle you are sponsoring our local clean-up teams. We hope that all participants will buy a t-shirt!

• At each site, a site-manager will welcome you and explain the work dynamics: we will clean for about an hour and then deposit the bags in a specific location for pick-up by ZOFEMAT.
• The site-manager will thank you and recognize each institution or group of people that are participating – please stick around for a group photo at your site after the clean-up in front of your collected trash.
• Extra clean-up materials can be returned at CEDO or to your site-manager.

• Please bring a smile and a hearty appetite for cleaning up the marine environment, and please take lots of pictures and send them to alan@cedo.org. If you would like to bring coffee, juice, fruit, or another snack for your site’s team, feel free:)
