Almost 500,000 volunteers collect 6.8 million pounds of trash from beaches as well as below the water in 100 countries and 42 US states. Annually, the event occurs on the third Saturday in September.
There are estimates of 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean, which can compromise the ecosystems and animal life. Promote healthy oceans and beaches with editorial features and complementary advertising, relying on Metro's extensive library of images and ad starters.
