Ready, Set, it's Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, Sept. 15!

Here on the shores of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, we all play a vital role in protecting our ocean. Yet hundreds of thousands of pounds of plastic, garbage, cigarette butts and pollution continue to trash our ocean and harm marine wildlife at an alarming rate. 

YOU can help prevent this by joining the largest volunteer event on the planet – Annual Coastal Cleanup Day! 

Taking place on Saturday, September 15, from 9 am – 12 pm at nearly 80 cleanup sites throughout Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, Annual Coastal Cleanup Day is your opportunity to protect your ocean community from harmful trash and debris.

Pre-register, become a Site Captain, search for cleanup sites and more at saveourshores.org/acc...

 

So come one, come all, to join make history with your ocean community.

Locally spanning over 150 miles at nearly 80 cleanup sites from Wadell Creek to the Big Sur coast, you'll join thousands of volunteers working together to protect our most valuable resource - our oceans and watersheds.
