Coastal cleanup happening Saturday

Volunteers will descend on local waterways and beaches for California Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday.

More than 50 Orange County beaches, lakes, and waterways are slated for group cleanups between 9 a.m. and noon.

Some Newport-Mesa locations include: Crystal Cove, Upper Newport Bay, Balboa Beach near the Balboa Pier, Corona del Mar State Beach, and Vista Park/Victoria Pond in Costa Mesa.

In 2010, volunteers removed more than a million pounds of trash and recyclables from across the state.

Volunteers should visit https://www.ocparks.com/adoptapark or call (714) 566-3022 to find an event and how to participate.
