Coastal Cleanup Day
California Coastal Cleanup Day is part of the International Coastal Cleanup – the largest volunteer event in the world. In 2016, nearly 800,000 volunteers collected over 18 million pounds of debris from beaches, lakes and waterways across the globe.
In partnership with the California Coastal Commission and Heal the Bay, LA Waterkeeper hosts a cleanup site each year at Dockweiler Beach.
Come take part in the world’s largest volunteer day by joining us for Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 16, 2017!
