FOR THE ANNUAL US COAST GUARD AUXILIARY COASTAL CLEANUP IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OCEAN CONSERVANCY

JOIN US IN HELPING KEEP OUR COMMUNITY & MARINE ENVIRONMENT CLEAN

The ocean is the engine that drives our climate and provides much of the food we eat, the oxygen we breathe, and home for 97 percent of all life. We all depend on the ocean in some way. We all have a responsibility to care for it. Participating in the Coastal Cleanup is a positive way to show how much you value clean waterways and the community that you live and work in. We see trash on our streets and in our neighborhoods every day, and it's not just an eyesore. Much of this trash ends up in our waterways, where it impacts the health of our ocean, the food we eat, and the water we drink. This is a problem we can only solve together. We can all do our part to create clean beaches for everyone to enjoy, cleaner water for fish and marine wildlife, and a healthier ocean for those whose lives depend on it. But it's going to take all of us coming together to make it happen.

We need supporters like you to help restore, recycle, and rebuild our community. Together, we can help turn this around. Last year, as part of the Ocean Conservancy - International Coastal Cleanup initiative, nearly 600,000 people picked up more than 9 million pounds of trash. In the past 26 years, people have removed over 150 million pounds of trash. We want this year to be the biggest year yet. We're asking all of our volunteer members in the area, their supporters ? along with their friends, neighbors and family ? to make a pledge to take action and be part of the solution.
