Due to recent heavy rains, which carried significant stormwater into the harbor resulting in reduced ocean water visibility and potential biological hazards, Operation Clean Sweep, scheduled for Saturday, May 18th, has been cancelled. The City remains grateful to all the divers and dock workers who volunteered to participate in this event. Waterfront staff will alert the public if and when this year’s event is rescheduled.
