Registration for the 2014 NYS Beach Cleanup will open on May 15th, 2014!
| Welcome to the American Littoral Society's
online registration form for the New York State
Beach Cleanup. We created this digital registration
form to make the cataloging of people, addresses,
emails, cleanup sites and data much faster and
easier for everyone. We realize this may seem like
a big change and it may take everyone some time to adjust.
To help with the transition, here is a short guide
to tell you some major changes to the registration
process and give you some tips on how to best
fill out the form so that everything goes smoothly.

Major Changes
1 - For every registration there is one Coordinator
and one or more sites reserved by that person. Each site
is assigned one Beach Captain and any number of
co-captains, which can include the coordinator.
This allows everyone from large companies and
organizations who cover entire rivers
to small families who only clean their backyards
to have the flexibility to register cleanly,
accurately and with as much or as little delegation
as possible.
Example - John Doe from Coca-Cola
reserves twelve sites along the Long Island Sound.
He lists himself as the Coordinator and provides
an address for materials from ALS to be sent to.
He then reserves twelve sites and gives each site
a Beach Captain to oversee it (and maybe some
co-captains), one of which is himself. The rest
of the form is filled out and he is done.
Example 2 - Sarah Connor is a single teacher
who wants to bring her 6th grade class out
to a local beach to clean. She lists herself as
the Coordinator and provides an address for materials
from ALS to be sent to. She reserves her single
site, lists herself as the (only) Beach Captain,
gives any other relevant data needed and is done.
2 - Cleanups done on beaches, underwater or on
watercraft are strictly separate, in terms of data.
If you clean a shoreline by collecting trash on
the beach and then gather divers and swimmers to
collect debris from in the water of that same beach,
these activities must be counted separately and
the data tallied separately.

Tips & Clarifications
1 - Please provide as much information as you possibly can.
The only absolute requirements are marked with a *.
2 - Please provide an email you will check regularly
and ensure it is correct. We will be sending out
mass mailings with important information
regarding the Beach Cleanup on a regular basis.
3 - The form will pick up on errors such as
telephone numbers and emails with impossible
combinations or incomplete letters/numbers and
other missing data, but please be diligent
regardless. |

Use the form below and the 'Add Another
Site' button to list every site you plan on
cleaning.
If you are cleaning a site multiple times, such
as underwater and land cleanups, or cleaning
the same site across multiple days, please list
each day and/or cleanup separately. |
