00:03.220 --> 00:06.050
This is the 31st annual coastal cleanup

00:06.050 --> 00:09.880
on Guam . The coastal

00:09.880 --> 00:12.960
cleanup is a public event organized

00:12.960 --> 00:16.229
every year . It's on September 20th and

00:16.479 --> 00:18.840
all people from all walks of life are

00:18.840 --> 00:21.319
invited . We have a lot of military

00:21.319 --> 00:23.510
personnel that are involved , also

00:23.510 --> 00:25.319
members of the public and their

00:25.319 --> 00:28.479
families , and um there's about , I

00:28.479 --> 00:30.312
want to say , well over 20 sites

00:30.312 --> 00:32.720
islandwide , and I believe this year

00:32.720 --> 00:35.939
there's around 3000 participants . So

00:35.939 --> 00:38.106
this event is really important for the

00:38.106 --> 00:39.995
environment and also just for the

00:39.995 --> 00:42.050
community to bring everyone together

00:42.050 --> 00:44.217
and raise awareness for um keeping our

00:44.217 --> 00:45.995
oceans clean and our coastlines

00:45.995 --> 00:48.349
beautiful . It just gets kind of a

00:48.349 --> 00:50.571
morale going of like taking care of our

00:50.571 --> 00:52.349
environment and a little bit of

00:52.349 --> 00:54.349
awareness on some of our endangered

00:54.349 --> 00:56.182
species . Like today we gave out

00:56.182 --> 00:58.238
pamphlets about the sea turtles . We

00:58.238 --> 01:00.405
had a really good group of people come

01:00.405 --> 01:02.627
out to Turagi this morning , and if you

01:02.627 --> 01:04.682
didn't get to go into it this year ,

01:04.682 --> 01:06.849
then you should definitely sign up for

01:06.849 --> 01:05.949
next year .
