The Louisiana Gulf Response Involvement Team (GRIT), in partnership with Shell Oil Company, organized and implemented a beach cleanup on the Cameron Shoreline from Mae's Beach to Long Beach on July 21, 2010. The goals of the project were to (1) engage Shell Oil Company employees and community volunteers in a safe and meaningful activity as part of the oil spill response efforts and (2) remove natural and unnatural debris from the potential oil impact zone to reduce quantity and complexity of oil spill clean-up efforts. In total, 98 volunteers and staff members picked up over 60 cubic yards of trash and debris from a two-mile stretch of beach in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
