Join Clean Ocean Access, 11thHour Racing, and the City of Newport for launch of the 2^nd season of the Newport Harbor Trash Skimmers (NHTS). A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at Perrotti Park in Downtown Newport on Friday, April 21 at 10AM, followed by a big announcement! Guests are encouraged to arrive at 9:45AM to be treated to hot coffee provided by Empire Tea & Coffee.

The goal of the NHTS project, made possible by funding from 11^th Hour Racing, is to reduce the amount of marine debris in the Newport harbor, increase the recreational value of the waterfront, bring awareness to the types of re-accumulating debris, and promote environmental stewardship.
