Cleanups

Host a beach, river, lake, wetland, or underwater cleanup. Try contacting local outdoor, diving, and water sport shops to help organize while spreading the word. You can recruit volunteers through social media, news outlets, community posters, or local youth groups.

Partnership

Make a lasting connection for ocean health by encouraging cleanup volunteers to “adopt” a local beach, river, lake, wetland, or underwater area to keep clean long after World Oceans Day. Join forces with local environmental groups to help manage and provide resources to these volunteers.
