Ocean State due for coastal cleanup tomorrow

Ocean Conservancy volunteers have a lot to show for 21 years of work: 100 million pounds of garbage, all from coastal areas.

Tomorrow, you can join the millions who have volunteered since then and clean up Narragansett Bay.

The Audubon Society of Rhode Island will host local activities for the International Coastal Cleanup, which was started by the Conservancy unofficially in Texas in 1986.

If you're in Providence, join the Woonasquatucket Watershed Council at corner of Kinsley and Sims Avenues in Providence to clean up debris along the Providence River which would ultimately find its way into the Bay. Another cleanup crew will tackle Fields Point.

Lunch, T-shirts, and an excuse to spend a sunny, mild day outside are on the council.
