BECQ Brigade eyes Tank Beach

The Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality’s Cleanup Brigade will be picking up trash at the Tank Beach in Kagman on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016, at 8am.

If you would like to volunteer, meet the BECQ representatives on Saturday at the Tank Beach parking lot at 8am. Volunteers will split into groups and clean until 10am and break for drinks and then continue, if needed.

This month, outstanding brigade volunteers who participated in at least 10 monthly cleanups will receive a brigade cap and those who participated in at least three cleanups will receive a brigade T-shirt.

Last month’s Fishing Base beach cleanup was successful with 40 volunteers from Hopwood Jr. High School, Saipan Southern High School, Northern Marianas College—Natural Resource Management Program, and other participating. Over 300 lbs of marine debris was removed from the beach and disposed of. The BECQ is looking forward to a repeat success on Saturday.
