ATTENTION ALL
BOATERS, ANGLERS & WATERMEN:
From November 2nd - 4th bring your unwanted
equipment to any one of 11 locations across Beaufort County for FREE disposal during the first
ever CLEAN MARINE EVENT!
The Clean Marine Event is intended
to help prevent boating
and fishing equipment from becoming derelict or discarded into our coastal
waterways and marshes. Each year,
abandoned boats, old fishing gear, discarded equipment and building materials
become marine debris that threatens the health and safety of our coastal
environment. We need to work together to dispose of unused equipment
properly before it damages the marsh, shellfish beds, and endangers people and
marine life.
This event is funded and sponsored through a partnership with state and local coastal
resource agencies, organizations, the marine industry and local municipalities
in Beaufort County, with local volunteers from USCB’s student Environmental
Organization.
