This spring coastwide cleanup is our next opportunity to show our appreciation and respect for Texas’ coast and all it has to offer.” Volunteers interested in participating can find information about registration and cleanup locations at the AAB website or show up on-site the day of to enjoy a morning filled with fun and service to the Texas coast.
