Thousands of volunteers are expected to participate in the 37th annual Coastal Cleanup Day, organized by Heal the Bay.

Heal the Bay has coordinated this vital event for 37 years, collaborating with the California Coastal Commission and Ocean Conservancy. The cleanup is integral to a larger international movement focused on safeguarding oceans and marine wildlife from the detrimental impacts of plastic pollution and debris.
