This effort is vital to prevent the debris from reaching and polluting our oceans. We need all the help we can get! As we like to say\, many hands make light work. \nThis event is a unique experience to kayak in the San Diego Riverbed\, where it generally is not allowed! We get special permission from the City of San Diego and work in tandem with bird watchers\, riverbed rangers\, and other staff to ensure this event has a minimal impact on the local wildlife. \nPark & Meet: The meeting location is NEAR the address listed.
