Clean Up Dive Schedule
INTERNATIONAL BEACH CLEANUP DAY SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2008 HAIGH QUARRY, NEAR KANKAKEE,ILLINOIS
| This is the 23rd year of this annual event, the world's largest
one-day volunteer effort to clean the aquatic environment. The
event is coordinated by the Ocean Conservancy and PADI/Project Aware.
With a unique view beneath the surface, divers see first-hand the
harmful effects of debris. Participating in International Beach
Cleanup Day is a great way for divers to give back. Again this year ICSSD and its member clubs will be doing their part at the popular dive spot, Haigh Quarry, performing a Zebra Mussel roundup. There will be food and drink as well as prizes. Bring a container to hold the mussels, ideally a wide-mouth 32 oz. juice bottle works well. The mussels can go in but can't get out easily.

We still need a coordinator for future cleanups!!! Please step forward!!!
It would be nice to schedule several clean-up dives in 2009.
