Shoreline cleanup action at port of Oakland

The Port of Oakland joined its partners to celebrate California Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, 21 September, by organizing volunteers to remove litter from the shoreline.

The event was held in conjunction with Oakland Creek to Bay Day at two locations: Middle Harbor Shoreline Park (MHSP) in the heart of the Oakland Seaport; and East Creek Slough which is part of Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline Park.

Port of Oakland Director of Social Responsibility Amy Tharpe underlined that this was a terrific opportunity for the community to come together, while, he also highlighted that the initiative led to the promotion of public awareness around the importance of such issues.

Each event began at 9 am (local time), and wrapped up at noon, with lunch, prizes, and photo opportunities, all in appreciation of the volunteers’ service. It is important to note that 75 bags of garbage were removed from the East Bay shoreline.
