Last year, a TV, a boat, buckets and more were brought to the surface by volunteers diving into the Dana Point Harbor during California Coastal Cleanup Day.

This year, the effort to clean waters off Dana Point will continue throughout the city on Saturday, Sept. 16.

“Each year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers turn out to rid their beaches, waterways and ocean of trash and plastic debris,” said Nick Mallos, director of Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas Program.

Last year, more than 700 people attended the cleanups and more than 7,000 pounds of trash were collected, according to the Ocean Conservancy.

In the city, volunteers will head to multiple locations, both in and above the water, to clean.

In the Harbor, there will be two events occurring.

The first is hosted by the Dana Point Yacht Club and will be on the water.

“[Volunteers] will use double kayaks donated by Dana Point Jet Ski and Westwind Sailing,” said Stephanie Lenthall, site captain for the Harbor’s event.

She said the volunteers will clean the outer channel of the Harbor.

Every year, prizes are awarded for most debris collected and most unusual item found.

The second event is the underwater cleanup.

Volunteers will be diving to scour a section of the Harbor for items to bring to the surface.

At Doheny State Beach, volunteers will focus on the shoreline, the jetty, San Juan Creek and the general grounds of the park, said Vicki Wiker, Park Naturalist Interpreter for Doheny State Beach.

At Salt Creek Beach, volunteers can join Surfrider Foundation South OC Chapter, OC Parks, UPS, South Cove and Native West to help clean the area.
