Did you know that we all live on a watershed!?! A watershed is all the land that surrounds a body of water. After a rain shower (or in Rochester, a snowmelt), runoff will travel to the lowest point, taking along anything and everything with it.
 
So now you know how that cigarette butt that was thrown out the window along the highway found its way into your water supply!

Durand Eastman Beach - 2005 ICC Event

The International Coastal Clean Up is a global event with people from all over the world pitching-in to clean their shorelines. In doing so, they not only learn more about their local environment, but also about their relationship to it and their neighbors' as well.

The event began in 1993 at Durand Eastman Beach, through the ambitions and determination of a few rambunctious youth. Over the years, those youth have grown into young adults and, along with their own growth, the event grew as well. What once was a small local event at one beach is now a countywide project.
