G4G OC/LB + CA Coastal Clean Up (2 locations)

This month we are joining over 70,000 other AMAZING volunteers to support the “Coastal Clean Up Day” in both ORANGE COUNTY AND LONG BEACH.  Plan to spend the morning outside to help pick up trash and recyclables.  You will be amazed at the coastal and marine litter problem and by removing the trash you’ll help protect biodiversity too!

Please bring a pair of gloves, a trash bag (or bucket) and a refillable water bottle.  We’ll be outdoors so we recommend layers of clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and close-toed shoes.

Saturday, September 21  9:00am-12:00pm

More about the Coastal Cleanup Day Coastal Cleanup Day is an international day of action to protect our oceans, watersheds, and wildlife from trash and debris. This massive volunteering effort has an astounding impact on many of our local natural habitats and communities. For 2018, the Ocean Conservancy reports that nearly 800,000 volunteers collectively removed more than 20 million pieces of trash from beaches and waterways around the world. That’s 20 million fewer potential impacts on whales, turtles and other beloved ocean wildlife. https://www.coastal.ca.gov/
