Adopt-a-beach in California

Marine debris is one of the world’s most pervasive marine pollution problems.  Trash in our watersand on our shorelines can be mistaken as food by marine animals.  If animals don’t eat it, they could become entangled in it, which can have fatal results. That is why the California Coastal Commission, local organizations, agencies, and California State Parks have coordinated the Adopt-A-Beach Program.  If you are interested in adopting a beach, volunteers must commit to clean the beach at least three times per year.   LINK: Adopt a beach
