International Coastal Cleanup

There are currently no future events scheduled.
Be a part of the change to keep our beaches clean and beautiful.

In 2024 so far, 145,719 pounds of marine and firework debris have been cleaned off our beaches. That’s over 12,000 pounds more than last year – with the International Coastal Cleanup still to be held on September 21.

Marine debris is one of the greatest threats our ocean faces. If not collected, much of the garbage ends up in the ocean where birds, fish and marine mammals get entangled or ingest this debris, and microplastics end up in the food chain.  

Be a part of the change by signing up for the International Coastal Cleanup. Visit Coast Savers website to learn more, view the list of all participating beaches and pre-register for the event.
