End of Summer Volunteer Opportunities for a Clean Ocean

Volunteer for a few hours at one of the many end of summer festivals and events (see list).  Each event and festival is fun and filled with activities for all ages!  These are great opportunities for citizens, scouts, and college-bound students who care about a healthy ocean and want to volunteer for COA.  Volunteers can clean up the Shark River from the bottom-up (divers and nondivers welcome), and festival volunteers will speak with citizens about ocean pollution issues, obtain citizen petition signatures, and sell COA T-shirts.
