Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup
Every piece of litter cleaned from our shores is one less in the ocean. Whether you live on the coast or inland, enters bodies of water and contaminates sensitive environments, posing threats to wildlife.

Tips:
- Reach out to your local municipality to confirm that you have permission to clean your site! Sometimes you need a permit to access public lands and spaces.
- Reach out to local organizations already doing shoreline cleanups in your area! It's a great way to get volunteers out for your cleanup, engage with the community, and sometimes even recieve supplies and day-of trash disposal support.
Have a cleanup!
During the event, be sure to have the online data card open from app.ocean.org. That way, you can record the type and weight of the litter you clean up, adding to our database for conservation advocacy.
List of items you will need:
- Scales (to record the weight of the litter you clean up)
- Gloves
- Buckets
- Water
- Litter pickers (optional)
Submit your data!
Don't forget to claim additional impact for the ocean! Data collected by your participants is crucial to our citizen science program and is used to inform plastic policy! We strongly recommend tallying up the litter you collect as you walk along the shoreline rather than waiting until the end of the cleanup to sort and count everything.
During the cleanup, record your litter types and weights with your Ocean Wise Cleanup Data Card at app.ocean.org.
At the end of the data card is the button to Submit Your Data!
Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup గురించి
""Before starting our monthly shoreline cleanups I was quite upset by the amount of litter, especially styrofoam, that I would see in our local parks and around my neighborhood. Ducks swimming around and dodging styrofoam was my breaking point. For my 30th birthday, I got my friends together and we cleaned up our first shoreline. We have been hooked ever since! 2 weeks ago we completed our 17th clean-up and retrieved over 40 pounds of litter otherwise headed back into the Fraser River and then the Pacific Ocean. As a small group, our cleanup club is the most rewarding contribution to our planet we can make on a regular basis." "

సమయం
No cleanup is too small! You'll need to spend some time gathering materials (buckets, gloves, grab sticks, and a scale) but after that, any time removing plastic pollution from its path to the ocean is time well spent!
