The Department of Environmental Protection this Wednesday will be joined by volunteers from dozens of local groups - including students, senior citizens, environmentalists, business and local government leaders, and even military personnel from Fort Dix - in a massive day-long trash and debris cleanup for the Barnegat Bay watershed.
The Barnegat Bay Blitz, a watershed-wide cleanup organized by the DEP and the nonprofit New Jersey Clean Communities Council, is expected to include many hundreds of people representing all 37 municipalities within the bay's 660-square-mile watershed. Thirty-three of the municipalities are in Ocean County, and four are in Monmouth County.
