Santa Clara County doesn’t have a “coast,” strictly speaking, but it does have important watersheds that empty into the Bay, which empties into the ocean. California Coastal Cleanup Day will be a busy day in Santa Clara County, on Saturday, from 9am to 12pm. The event will include multiple locations, including:

San Thomas Aquino Creek, Santa Clara
Upper Penitencia Creek, San Jose
Guadalupe River, Alviso
Stevens Creek, Mountain View

The California Coastal Cleanup Day is an international effort to protect the ocean, watersheds, and wildlife from trash and debris.

A recruitment effort is underway to bring thousands of litter picker-uppers to South Bay creeks for Coastal Cleanup Day this weekend.
