<DIV>The September 18th "sweep" on Washburn Island is part of a major international effort... Last year, more than 450,000 people removed 7.5 million pounds of debris from more than 16,000 miles of shorelines and waterways during the International Coastal Cleanup Day in September. Seventy countries were involved... In Massachusetts, the Commonwealth's Office of Coastal Zone Management helps to direct this annual program...
