The Virgin Islands Marine Advisory Service (VIMAS) will host the annual International Coastal Cleanup starting September 20, with events continuing through October.
Cleanups are occurring throughout the entire Virgin Islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John.
Details on cleanup locations and volunteer registration can be found at http://www.vimas.uvi.edu
These cleanups help to remove trash found on coastlines and roadways that could negatively impact our valuable wildlife and ecosystems of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
For more information, contact Howard Forbes, Jr. at the Center for Marine Science and Environmental Studies at (340) 693-1674 or email howard.forbes@uvi.edu.
