On September 20th 2008 the Site Captains from the National Planning Committee all set off early in the morning to their various assigned beaches throughout Trinidad. Finally the time had come for the International Coastal Cleanup event and after months of continuous planning, the NPC members were prepared to make the beach cleanup and data collection exercise a success in Trinidad and Tobago.
