8 Saturday: On Feb. 8 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Emerald Keepers will be supporting the Navy’s clean up of Delta Beach, and the community is invited to join.
Delta Beach, on the bay side of Coronado’s Naval Amphibious Base, is not usually open to the public or Navy activity as it is was recently designated a critical habitat for the Least Tern and Snowy Plover birds. As a result, the large amount of trash that washes ashore is not accessible for most beach clean ups and accumulates throughout the year.
Those interested in joining the beach clean-up should look for the Emerald Keepers sign by a gate in the fence on Saturday morning. Parking is open at the Fiddlers Cove parking lot, and it will also be available on the sand inside the gated entrance on Delta Beach.
Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and a picker and bucket if you have them. Emerald Keepers will have gloves, buckets and pickers available for volunteers.

The meeting will include a critical vote to endorse a candidate for the County Board of Supervisors, District 1.
Voting ballot check-in, for members only, will open at 10:30 a.m. The meeting will start at 11 a.m. and is open to the public.
