Today (Saturday, 17 September), the Ocean Conservancy is sponsoring its 26th annual International Coastal Cleanup. The event is designed to engage people in removing trash and debris from the world's beaches and waterways, identify the sources of debris, and change the behaviors that cause ocean trash in the first place.
