BYO Month Cigarette Butt + Beach Cleanup

Did you know cigarette butts are one of the most common litter found during cleanups? Help us cleanup our local Junipero Beach focusing on not only cigarette butts, but other debris as well.

Join Algalita Marine Research and Education and City of Long Beach's Tobacco Education and Prevention Program on Saturday, October 18 from 10-12pm at Junipero Beach Lifeguard Headquarters (2100 E Ocean Blvd).

Each host group will have a table and representatives there sharing resources and getting to know the community better!
