Notes:

The 19th Annual Mississippi Coastal Cleanup took place on Saturday, September 15, 2007. More than 3,400 volunteers collected over 3,484 bags (about 53,800 pounds) of trash along 159 miles of Mississippi Gulf Coast and barrier islands (2007 final results) waterways. The cleanup, which usually focuses on the Coast's mainland and barrier island beaches and waterways, has expanded to include lakes, rivers, marshes, bayous, estuaries, and other watershed locations in the marine waters extending as far north as Interstate 10. This year's cleanup included more than 57 sites in Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties.

Cleanup zone captains supply volunteers with trash bags, data cards, pencils, and plastic gloves. Each zone captain wears a yellow zone captain T-shirt so that volunteers can easily spot them on cleanup day.
