Event HighlightsAcross the coast, the most common items found were cigarette butts, tiny bits of plastics, food wrappers, pieces of foam, and bottle caps.

Unique finds included a full bottle of wine at Nehalem Bay, several broken chairs and fenders at Sand Lake, a complete barbecue set at Netarts Bay, and a glass float at Road’s End.

Special thanks to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, who led 20 cleanup sites coastwide, and to the many local coast haulers, who provided in-kind debris removal and disposal.

In additon to volunteering at four sites, Presenting Sponsor, AAA Oregon, hosted a photo contest. Entries were sent in by email and through social media, using #SOLVEthistogether. Congratulations to the 2018 photos contest winners!
