NAT OPEN:
TRACK: Mary Power has helped coordinate the New Hampshire Coastal Clean-up since it started fourteen years ago. She wants volunteers and other beachgoers to realize what an asset The Granite State has in its beaches. Power says this year there doesn't seem to be as much trash as years past.
04:29People are more aware and if people come down to clean they will be less likely to trash the beach, they will be less likely to leave their cans and bottles behind maybe I'm overly optimistic, or maybe I'm unrealistic but I do think there is less trash.
04:51OUT
TRACK: That's good news for the over One thousand volunteers expected to show up for this weekend's clean-up. Clean-up sites dot the entire New Hampshire coast, and with the help of volunteer divers and donated boats, the effort reaches out and under the water.
00:27Ben now Mary I found this boot out on our coast this morning but I can't imagine items this are very common. What are some of the common items that people will be finding on our coast this weekend? … they will find things like rope fishing gear cigarette butts which is unfortunate
00:49OUT
TRACK: Last year the International clean-up collected 13.5 million pounds of trash. In New Hampshire alone over one-thousand people picked up 12- thousand pounds trash. Volunteers will write down what they pick up and where they find it. That recorded information can then be used to target problem spots.
10:00MARYI think coastal cleanups have really helped persuade our legislators to enact these laws and rules to keep less trash from being dumped into our ocean.
10:15OUT
STANDUPfederal statutes like the clean water act have reduced pollution in our oceans, but trash on our beaches still exists. And that's where a program like the coastal cleanup can really make a difference.
03:26:06I love the ocean I love the marine environment and to keep it healthy and clean is one of my main goals.
03:26:13OUT
TRACK: As well as being a boat captain with her own charter business, Susan Reynolds teaches science at The North Hampton School in North Hampton. She has her entire seventh grade participate in the cleanup. Reynolds, and several other teachers, have made the event part if their curriculum.
Susan34:15The students have used the beach all summer and this is their chance to give back. And to take some responsibility for that use.
34:24OUT
*BUTT*
susan:03:34:43There will be a lot of debris there and they can see what all the litter amounts to and they can see it in a small space and that's really important I think.
34:58OUT
TRACK: Being both a teacher and Seacoast Business woman, Reynolds's interest in keeping the beaches clean is two-fold.
28:19If I look at it from a teaching point of view, I can see kids growing as they take on responsibility. and if I look at it from my business point of view, The cleaner our beaches are the more tourists will come.
28:36OUT
TRACK: On the seacoast, I'm Ben French for New Hampshire Outlook
