Being
Responsible at the Beach
Plan ahead and bring a trash
bag with you on your next trip.
If you carry it in, carry it
out. If you take food or beverages
to the beach - please keep your
area of the beach clean.
Help
Eliminate Boating Waste
When you go boating, don’t
empty your waste into the water.

Clean
Beaches Council

The United States coast, where
the land and rivers meet the
sea and great waters, is a special,
valuable and complex place.
Coastal recreation, maritime
commerce, and jobs such as fishing
make the coast a vital part
of the American way of life.
While progress has been made
in recent years to protect this
great national resource, the
safety, health, and environmental
conditions of many areas continues
to deteriorate. Clean Beaches
Council was established to seek
solutions to these problems.
