Santa Clara County doesn’t have a “coast,” strictly speaking, but it does have important watersheds that empty into the Bay, which empties into the ocean. California Coastal Cleanup Day will be a busy day in Santa Clara County, on Saturday, from 9am to 12pm. The event will include multiple locations, including:

San Thomas Aquino Creek, Santa Clara
Upper Penitencia Creek, San Jose
Guadalupe River, Alviso
Stevens Creek, Mountain View
