A different kind of 'coastal cleanup'

Thanks to hundreds of Audubon bird stewards and biologists along with our partners, there were no reported mishaps at beach-nesting sites during the 2018 Independence Day fireworks celebrations.

The agreement allows the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to continue managing this resource for wildlife.
