Our mission:
to restore the natural beauty and biodiversity of coastal regions, and to safeguard the health of marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs.
Did you know that approximately 8 million metric tons of waste end up in the oceans annually, a significant portion of which washes up on beaches worldwide?
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that marine debris is a growing problem, with around 75% of this debris consisting of plastics. It's predicted that by 2050, there could be more plastic in the oceans by weight than fish.
We Must Take Action Now!
It is clear that there is a pressing need for both global and localized efforts to combat beach pollution. Through combined cleanup initiatives, policy changes, and increased public awareness, progress can be made in preserving the health and beauty of our coastlines.

How Clean Coast Crew Makes A Difference
We are committed to creating impactful change on our beaches and in our oceans through diverse strategies that address this issue from multiple angles.
Beach Cleanup Events
Clean Coast Crew organizes beach cleanup events both across the United States and globally. We collaborate with local organizations, mobilize volunteers, and partner with local businesses to enhance our positive impact on the environment and the local economy.
Underwater Cleanups
These activities not only help preserve the beauty and functionality of underwater environments but also support local economies reliant on tourism and fishing, promoting a sustainable balance between human activity and nature.
Environmental Education
By raising awareness about the impacts of pollution, the importance of marine ecosystems, and sustainable practices, we inspire individuals to take proactive steps in their daily lives to reduce waste and support conservation efforts.
