The Louisiana Gulf Response Involvement Team (GRIT) has been hard at work to identify safe and meaningful volunteer opportunities as well as secure resources to engage volunteers. To date, we have hosted three beach clean-ups and two marsh restoration projects. Please see the Times-Picayune article on our latest event.

The first step in the fight against oil is to reduce the amount of debris in the potential impact zones to the west of the current oiled shorelines. Debris and trash that collects on our shorelines can potentially get covered in oil and make the clean-up of these natural areas even more complicated. GRIT has partnered with Shell Oil Company to conduct a beach clean-up along the Cameron Shoreline at Mae’s Beach.

Project Cameron Shoreline Beach Cleanup
Where: Mae’s Beach
When: Wednesday, July 21, 2010
9:30 am to 2:00 pm

This project is being completed through funding provided from Shell Oil Company.

All planting equipment (gloves, shovels, dibbles, etc.) will be provided. Lunch and drinks will be provided to all volunteers. Detailed information will be emailed to all registered volunteers prior to the event. Space is limited.
