For California Coastal Cleanup Day, we had 45 volunteers at the Colorado Lagoon participate in several activities ranging from propagating salt marsh species to picking up trash along with removing non-native species from the median and participating in a beach seine.

Since Coastal Cleanup Day started in 1985, it has been reported that almost 15 million pieces of trash have been removed from the coastline and is considered the world's largest organized cleanup. Thanks to the ongoing restoration of the Colorado Lagoon, we did not have a lot of trash to pick up! The event was also attended by several community groups, such as the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust, the CSULB Surfrider Chapter, the Long Beach Democrats, and several Long Beach Mayoral Candidates. We were also joined by a photographer from Long Beach's newest newspaper, the Long Beach Register. Check out our slideshow below to see the Register's photos of the event!
