Be part of a global movement to protect our coastline. On International Coastal Cleanup Day, volunteers will gather at the Sands Point Preserve to collect debris from the beach as part of the Ocean Conservancy’s worldwide effort. Every piece of plastic picked up is data that helps scientists understand — and fight — ocean pollution. Small actions, big difference.

When: Friday, September 19, 2026 · 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Where: Sands Point Preserve, 127 Middle Neck Road, Sands Point, NY
Cost: FREE admission for volunteers
Note: Part of the Ocean Conservancy’s annual global initiative. Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for beach conditions.
