International Coastal Cleanup

September 22, 2018


The ever-increasing ocean trash – plastic waste in particular – has produced nothing
less than a global crisis for ocean waters, marine wildlife and habitat, human health and
safety, wasted resources and lost revenues for many nations. Fortunately, this is one
environmental issue that can be addressed by tackling trash at the source before it has
a chance to reach the water and by changing the behaviors that allow trash into the
water in the first place.

International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) provides the opportunity to make a difference in a


global movement by getting rid of trash/debris from our shorelines, rivers, lakes and
waterways; raising environmental awareness; and providing information which will guide
and influence governments, corporations and industries in developing smart solutions to
the marine debris problem.

Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is the world's largest


volunteer effort for ocean's health. Held every third Saturday of September of each year,
thousands and thousands of volunteers from around the globe participate, clearing tons
of trash from coastlines, rivers and lakes and recording every piece of trash collected on
the Ocean Trash Data Form..
