Abstract
- During the 1986 Coastweek, a national event dedicated to improvement of the marine environment, a large beach cleanup was organized on the Texas coast. The goals of the cleanup were to create public awareness of the problems caused by marine debris, and to collect data on the types and quantities of debris found on the Texas coastline. The document addresses the following topics: (1) "Organization of the Texas Coastal Cleanup"; (2) "Cleanup Activities on September 20"; (3) "Results"; (4) "Sources of Debris"; (5) "Distribution of Debris"; (6) "Drums"; (7) "Entanglement"; (8) "Conclusions"; (9) "Recommendations" (for government and industry); and (10) "Proclamations and Recognition." Appendices include lists of contributors, cleanup zone captains, and steering committee members. (CW)
