NEVER GO IN THE WATER
Stay on Dry Sand at all times
Never turn your back on the Ocean
Keep a safe distance from all wildlife!

In addition to the CDC guidelines, the Coastal Commission recommends the following practices for cleaning up litter and other debris:
Preparation:
If you are sick in any way, DO NOT go out for a cleanup.
Assemble your own Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): face mask, gloves, and make sure to wear close-toed shoes to protect against sharp objects.
Download the Clean Swell app (available for free on all platforms) to keep track of what you pick up and how many people participated with you.

Cleanup:
Maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet from everyone you encounter, even if you are wearing a mask.
ALWAYS wear gloves – disposable if available - and dispose or wash them immediately after your cleanup.
Avoid touching any surfaces like railings, benches, etc.
Avoid touching your face.
Do not pick up sharp objects, especially syringes!
Unfortunately, you may find used gloves, masks, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) among litter. DO NOT PICK UP ANY PPE without a grabber. Put all PPE litter in a separate disposable bag.
After Cleanup:
Dispose or wash gloves immediately after your cleanup.
To properly remove disposable gloves, grab the glove opening near your wrist and pull towards your fingers, then turn the glove inside out before disposing. ·
Wash your hands thoroughly as soon as possible, and use hand sanitizer in the meantime if soap and water are unavailable.
