Being a Responsible
at the Beach
Plan ahead and bring
a trash bag with
you on your next
trip. If you carry
it in, carry it
out. If you are
having fun with
your family and
you take food or
beverages to the
beach - please keep
your area of the
beach clean.

The
United States coast, where
the land and rivers meet
the sea and great waters,
is a special, valuable
and complex place. Coastal
recreation, maritime commerce,
and jobs such as fishing
make the coast a vital
part of the American way
of life. While progress
has been made in recent
years to protect this
great national resource,
the safety, health, and
environmental conditions
of many areas continues
to deteriorate. Clean
Beaches Council was established
to seek solutions to these
problems.
