CHNS celebrating World Oceans Month by Hosting Three Beach Cleanups
June not only marks the beginning of summer, it also marks World Oceans Month. Our oceans, which make up approximately 70 percent of the earth, are natural treasures, a source of food and energy, and a foundation for the way of life.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore is celebrating the oceans and its resources by hosting three beach cleanups at various locations from 9:00 – 11:00 am.

June 24, 2017- Hatteras Island, Old Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Site parking lot
June 28, 2017- Ocracoke Island, Lifeguarded beach parking lot
