All about Beach Cleanups

A beach cleanup is an event where volunteers collect rubbish from sand and shorelines. Removing litter protects wildlife, such as birds and turtles, that could be harmed by plastic. Clean beaches are also safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

Volunteers record the types of rubbish they find, which helps scientists understand where litter comes from. Many beach cleanups are free to join, and families and friends often take part together.
