Celebrate Maine Coastweek, September 20-27
Coastweek is a national celebration of our coastal resources. In Maine, with over 5,300 miles of coastline, we have much to celebrate. Coastal Cleanup is Coastweek's main event, offering Mainers an opportunity to protect our valuable coastline by picking up trash in locally-organized clean-up events.
