We have been sponsoring and/or participating in weekend coastal cleanups for the last ten years. Today’s weekly self-guided cleanup was on Juno Beach, Florida, hosted by Loggerhead Marinelife Center. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup

Studies show some of the highest densities of plastic pollution are in mangrove ecosystems compared to other coastal environments. While this protects the ocean, plastic smothers roots and harms biodiversity, making coastal cleanup critical. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MangroveMonday #CoastalCleanup

Our weekly Saturday morning cleanup! To paraphrase Wordsworth, “we find comfort in our cause, and while the mist is gathering, we draw breath in confidence of Heaven's applause: for we are happy warriors!” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #SaturdayMorning #CoastalCleanup

Our cleanups are crucial for ocean health, as they directly remove harmful debris and microplastics, protect habitats, and provide data to drive policy changes against pollution. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #OceanHealth #ClimateChange
Winter storm wave crashing on a rocky shore
“The noontide sun, call’d forth the mutinous winds, and ‘twixt the green sea and the azured vault set roaring war: to the dread rattling thunder.” ― William Shakespeare, The Tempest #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #Holiday #ShakespeareSunday
Ghost gear, nets, ropes, buoys, and other marine debris was recovered and piled for removal.

Ghost gear, nets, ropes, buoys, and other marine debris washed ashore during storm surge.
While rough weather makes cleanups difficult and dangerous, the subsequent storm surge can wash significant amounts of ocean debris ashore, creating a key window of opportunity for recovery. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #SundayMorning

Getting in an early morning cleanup before the crowds. These days, we unfortunately spend way more time doing research, recovery, and restoration of the coasts than discovering and surfing them—but we must confess—we still catch a few waves. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup
Sally Scholz Cleanup Results: 26 volunteers, 95 lbs collected, 1,746 items removed! 💪 66% plastic | 57% weathered. Plastic persists—but so does our community’s dedication. Thanks to everyone (& @PeetsCoffee) for keeping Sally’s spirit alive! ☕ #SantaCruz #CleanOceansInternational #CoastalCleanup
A single person using a reusable bottle can prevent up to 1,460 plastic bottles from entering landfills and waterways each year. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #SingleUsePlastic #ReusableWaterBottles
#SomersfieldAcademy students took action for #Bermuda’s environment, joining Keep Bermuda Beautiful for the Island-wide #CoastalCleanUp. At Robinson Bay, we collected 400+ lbs of trash — a small but meaningful part of #KBB’s 15,000+ lbs so far!

According to organizers, the combined efforts of volunteers and divers in #Kingston alone saw the removal of over 400 kg of shoreline litter and more than 1,000 kg of underwater items and debris. #YGK #GreatLakes #CoastalCleanup #KFLA

App screen images of coastal cleanup location maps, debris photos, and source tracing.
We will be sharing details from our @wettribe.bsky.social #CoastalCleanup. The overall goals of the #BrandAudit and #DataAnalysis are to characterize the extent of debris in various habitats. Debris is divided by source (if determined), brand (if labeled), purpose, type, and size.

Cleanup brand audits and resulting data are crucial for converting coastal cleanups into informed action that drives accountability for plastic pollution and long-term policy change. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #Audit #Data

Thank you everyone who took part in #CoastalCleanup Day today, especially here in #SoCal where more than 30 Long Beachers were able to join a Candlelight #meditation with myself & colleagues at #sunset

Another successful cleanup! Mahalo to all our volunteers, supporters, and municipalities aiding our cleanup efforts. We will perform a brand audit tomorrow and have some totals for our followers next week. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup
Today is International Coastal Cleanup Day, www.nationaldaycalendar.com/internationa... #beach #beaches #cleanup #cleanupday #coastal #coastalcleanup #coastalcleanupday #InternationalCoastalCleanupDay #microplastics #ocean #plastic #plasticpollution #surfriderfoundation
⭐ That’s a wrap on National #CoastalCleanup Day!
Together, our volunteers collected 410 lbs of trash! 👏
We are extremely grateful for the Stockton/San Joaquin EmergencyFood Bank for hosting us and for our partners & community members. Follow us here for more Delta events and ways to get involved!
Took part in Coastal Cleanup Day at Rockaway Beach in Pacifica. It's nice to gather with others who share a common concern about our planet. #environment #CoastalCleanup

Show us what you’re finding at #coastalcleanup, tag @berkeleyca.gov and we’ll re-share a selection!

Berkeley’s shoreline is alive with volunteers this morning. Gloves on, buckets ready, neighbors working side by side.
This is what #CoastalCleanup is all about.
A large swath of plastic debris floating on the surface of the open ocean
Plastics have quickly become one of the world's most prevalent environmental pollutants. 430 million tons of plastic are produced annually, with 11 million tons ending up in our oceans. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CoastalCleanup
Tomorrow is #InternationalCoastalCleanupDay. Entanglements in ocean debris cause drowning, starvation & laceration. Ingestion causes internal injury & infection. Why not join a local #coastalcleanup or plan to reduce waste/recycle more at home? Read more iwc.int/index.php?cI...
Plastic pollution and organic debris littering the coastline
Stormwater carries plastic pollution from streets and parking lots, as well as agricultural runoff, into drains and eventually out to sea. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #Planning #Pollution

Point source pollution comes from a single, identifiable location. Nonpoint source pollution originates from diffuse, widespread areas. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #Planning #Pollution
