Help protect our beaches, waterways, and marine life by volunteering to remove litter and debris from our coastline. Whether you're an individual, family, group, or organization, your efforts will make a lasting impact on our local environment.

About the International Coastal Cleanup
The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is the world's largest, volunteer effort to clean up the marine environment. Every year, volunteers from over 100 countries descend on local beaches, rivers, lakes, and canals to show their commitment to cleaner waterways. The Ocean Conservancy, the world's largest organization focusing exclusively on the health of the marine environment, has sponsored this annual event for the past 38 years.
The ICC is much more than just removing trash. By providing detailed, standardized data on paper data cards, or electronically through the Clean Swell app, volunteers gather valuable information about the types and sources of debris found.
Analyzed and tracked year by year, the data collected by volunteers serves as a powerful tool for educating the public, influencing public policy, and effecting positive behavioral change on the part of individuals, organizations, and communities.
