Clean Beaches Week in USA
Clean Beaches Week in USA is held on July 1. This event in the first decade of the month July is annual. Help us
Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas. Beaches also play an important role in the economy. Cleaning the beach also improves the coastal and ocean ecosystem by ensuring that none of the trash kills marine life or is toxic enough to disrupt the aquatic life cycle. A beach clean-up is also an opportunity to gather new data about the state of our coasts and the types of trash that pollutes them.
While that helps the local economy, tourists could further help with the marketing as well. By snapping selfies and posting stories of the beautiful beaches, they are spreading the news and helping to promote the area.
Established in 2003 by The Clean Beaches Coalition, Clean Beaches Week is celebrated annually in the USA from 1 July to 7 July. Gaining overwhelming support from the public, over 150 coastal governors, mayors, and county commissions have proudly expressed their support for the initiative. Bolstering this, the year 2007 saw the U.S. Senate as well as the House of Representatives pass resolutions to unanimously enact the week into action. While the week itself is observed nationwide in the United States, its impact is global, and its message universal.
