By utilising a large global ambassador network of thousands, coastal cleanups are run all over the world. These are supported be with the equipment needed to keep the places we love clean. The Coastal Cleanup program provides a fun and easy way to volunteer and engage and protect the oceans and marine wildlife.

Coastal cleaning can be entirely rewarding, because you’re consciously helping to protect our natural environment as well as your local area, and they can be a great opportunity to meet new friends.
