2011 International Coastal Cleanup Stats

The Ocean Conservancy has tallied up the numbers for the 2011 ICC effort. More than 9 million pounds of trash was picked up by approximately half-million volunteers worldwide. The top two countries for volunteers: United States of America and Phillipines. One small island who made the top 5 was the Dominican Republic with between 16K to 15K volunteers. Kudos!
