Join a Beach Cleanup this Spring!
Funding received from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries
March 10, 2026
We’re excited to share that CFF has received a funding award from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) to support a shoreline marine debris removal project, and we invite you to be a part of it.
This project will focus on removing abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) such as monofilament line, rope, nets, and trap components that may pose ongoing risks to coastal habitats and wildlife.
With support from local fishermen, students, and community volunteerism we’ll be cleaning shorelines, documenting debris, and turning collected data into an educational storyboard to raise awareness and strengthen local stewardship.
We have three cleanup events scheduled:
Saturday, March 28, 2026

Parking: 1175 Gross Hill Rd, Wellfleet, MA 02667
