Carteret Big Sweep
Guest User
Croatan High School and West Carteret High School Key Clubs partnered together to clean our local beaches on September 19th, International Coastal Cleanup Day. They had 10 Key Club members clean up the Bogue Inlet Pier and 10 Key Club members clean up the Islander Beach Access, along with some Kiwanis members from the community. Over 2 hours between both locations, over 15 pounds of trash was collected, including 1,000+ cigarettes. The trash collected during the clean up was tracked using a data form that goes to the Center for Marine Science and Technology in Morehead City. The data from our cleanup and cleanups throughout Carteret County are analyzed, and help scientists make reports on items that are of local concern. The event helped keep our community clean, and the data will help our community reduce our impact on the environment.
