Volunteers Take Part in Operation Clean Sweep on San Diego Bay

Nearly 900 volunteers helped clean up the San Diego Bay tidelands on August 29, 2009 at the 19th Annual Operation Clean Sweep. Cleanup spots included Pepper Park and Paradise Creek Marsh in National City, Chollas Creek and Cesar Chavez Park in San Diego and in the waters of South San Diego Bay. It’s the only clean up event in San Diego that has military and civilian divers working collaboratively to clean up the bay floor, and the amount of junk they bring to the surface is always astonishing. Volunteers were busy on both the land and in the water.
