Not Clean Ocean Action! (COA) |
COA does not go door-to-door. We do not solicit funds or signatures, or distribute information through canvassing. If you have questions or concerns, COA suggests contacting your town administrator. Please further note that Clean Ocean Action has no financial affiliation with the organization called Clean Water Action (formerly known as NJ Environmental Federation) or any other canvassing organization. |

Reduce Litter in the Delaware River
The goal of COA's Reduce Litter in the Delaware River project is to monitor litter and reduce the land-based sources of trash that contribute to pollution in and along the river, and that ultimately flow into the ocean. COA hosted a webinar about the project on Tuesday, December 21, 2021. Watch the webinar recording and view the presentation slides.
To learn more about the project and COA's findings, read the Litter Assessment along the Delaware River: Citizen Science Progress Report.
