The group Clean Ocean Action is looking for volunteers to help clean up the Jersey Shore in April. 

Items found along the beaches will help Clean Ocean Action understand trends so the organization will know what policies to advocate for in an effort to reduce the debris. 

Alison Jones from COA says they want to make the environment as clean as possible.  

“We have marine animals and other marine wildlife come past our shores in New Jersey,” says Alison Jones. 

Belmar will be one of hundreds of sites to be cleaned on Apr. 9. 

Registration to be come a volunteer is now open on their website.
