ICC coordinator William T. Pendergrass told the Variety that the number of participants in the cleanup activities keeps on growing each year.
“When we started the coastal cleanup in 2007, over a hundred people joined us. Last year, the number grew to over 300, and this year, we are expecting more people to join us,” Pendergrass said.
The location for the cleanup station on Rota will be transferred from the Pinatang Island to the Roundhouse.
There will be another station on Tinian for the cleanup there.
On Saipan, over 200 volunteers and 10 groups have already signed up to join the international cleanup as of last week but organizers are expecting more individuals to signup and join the cleanup on Sept. 19.
