Data Cards

A Data Card

What makes the International Coastal Clean Up such a unique event is the data card function. On one day, millions of people around the world gather along their local shorelines to not only remove trash and debris, but catalog every piece picked up. (And that includes everything, every cigarette butt, every scrap of paper, everything!) Locally we have been compiling this data for 15 years are some of our local shorelines. With this data and information, we can then look back and truly take hold of our impact on our local environment.
