We have partnered with SC Department of Health and Environmental Control’s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management’s (OCRM) in the Adopt-A-Beach program, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the preservation of our coastal environment by participating in a beach cleanup. The program itself and the Adopt-A-Beach signs remind those who are tempted to litter that there are people out there who care.

 

We are looking for civic clubs, businesses, school groups, neighborhood associations and other organizations to adopt a stretch of beach. At least twice a year, your group will spend a few hours picking up litter on your adopted beach. To get involved, contact Bruxanne at (843) 333-2034 or by e-mail at bruxanne@yahoo.com. You can also contact DHEC directly by e-mailing Mike Robertson from DHEC at robertma@dhec.state.sc.us. We will help you find an area to adopt and also publicize your group or organization by posting a sign near your adopted beach to tell everyone that your group is in charge of keeping this stretch of beach clean.
