Sullivans Island MarshSweep Cleanup!

The Sullivan's Island causeway is a trashy sight, and because of the timing of this year's Beach/River Sweep, we were not able to get out into the marshy areas where a lot of the trash is located. However, the Sea Grant organizers tell us that it is not too late to do another cleanup and submit the data for this year's compilation...

So, if you like to skate on the marsh mud, or just love to get out and enjoy the glorious marsh landscape as weather cools, please join us in a low tide version of Marsh Sweep, at the SI Causeway, on Saturday, October 6. We will meet on the Sullivan's side of the bridge at 9:30, and work for a couple of hours.

Dress to get dirty, and wear old sneakers or some other type of footwear that won't come off in the mud (flip flops and boots don't work...). Gloves, bags, data sheets, water and snacks will be provided.

Please call the site coordinator listed below to sign up and reserve a spot for yourself and some friends!
