OCEAN GROVE - Armed with plastic buckets and garbage bags, volunteers spread out on the Ocean Grove beach early Saturday morning, in search of all types of trash. We ve got to do a better job of stewarding this planet, said Ocean Grove resident Mike Goldstein. Microplastics are a huge problem. We are killing ourselves.
Pulling aside a clump of seaweed, Goldstein quickly found six small pieces of plastic embedded there. He scooped them up and put them in a bucket.
Goldstein was one of nearly 4,000 volunteers who came out on a chilly morning to remove trash from 60 beaches and park areas up and down the coast. They were part of a cleanup crew that participated in Clean Ocean Action s annual spring Beach Sweeps.

Jersey Shore fall beach sweeps brought in 185,000 pieces of garbage including discarded PPE
One of the earliest annual events to be canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic last year in New Jersey was Clean Ocean Action s spring Beach Sweeps, which organizers said was nixed for maybe only the second time in 35 years.
So when the fall Beach Sweeps returned last October, volunteers uncovered more than their usual share of unusual items, including something that would be very much in the news throughout the rest of the fall and into early winter. A Trump 2020 flag, so certainly signs of the times here in our Roster of the Ridiculous, and there s many, many more included in the report, Alison Jones, COA Watershed Program coordinator, said.

An annual spring cleanup of Jersey Shore beaches that was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic will be back this year, according to Clean Ocean Action, the environmental group that has sponsored the semi-annual Beach Sweeps event now in its 35th year.
Clean Ocean Action officials say there is still time to register online for the cleanup, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 17, which allows volunteers to choose the beach of their choice in Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic or Cape May counties.
