INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP September 20th, 2025<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Thank you for your interest in joining a beach cleanup!<\/h1>\r\n

Join volunteers in coastal communities from around the world in celebrating the International Coastal Cleanup. Help keep our beaches clean and beautiful by picking up marine and shoreline debris from participating Pacific Coast and Strait of Juan de Fuca locations!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Years before the International Coastal Cleanup became official in 1986, the Pacific Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association<\/a> started their own cleanup, Operation Shore Patrol in 1971 along Ocean Shores, Westport and the Long Beach Peninsula beaches. With over 50 years of cleanup experience, the PNW4WDA is the originator of a fall organized cleanup on Washington\u02bbs Pacific Coast.<\/h2>\n

Thank you to all of our partners for making the cleanup possible, including but not limited to: GrassRoots Garbage Gang<\/a>, Washington State Parks<\/a>, the City of Long Beach, Jeep Long Beach, Ocean Park Moose Lodge, Washington Surfrider Olympia Chapter<\/a>,\u00a0Washington Surfrider Olympia Chapter<\/a>, Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary<\/a>, Lions Clubs International<\/a>, USCG Chief Petty Officers Assn.<\/a>, Port Townsend Marine Science Center<\/a> and concerned citizens.<\/h2>\n

To ensure a successful cleanup please be prepared to:<\/h2>\n

-spend time walking over uneven and slippery surfaces<\/p>\n

-be able to walk over 1-mile carrying debris (some beaches will require more walking)<\/p>\n

-wear proper footwear, layers and plan for inclement weather<\/p>\n

-bring water, snacks and your own gloves if you have them<\/p>\n

Note: There are two options for this cleanup.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Option #1: Come to Fort Worden\/Chimicum to sign in, grab supplies, and get assigned a beach location.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in this option, please sign up through this registration form, and we will see you on September 20th!<\/p>\n

Option #2: Are you up for a few miles of trekking on the beach and carrying a load of debris on your back? Well, this option is for you! If you are interested in this, please register for this site and email Mandi at mjohnson@ptmsc.org. Spots are limited, so please reach out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Please direct cleanup questions to the site host (email listed on the registration page(s) linked).<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

If you can\u02bbt join us, please consider collecting marine debris next time you go to the beach. But don\u2019t leave your collected debris on the beach. Take everything you collect back to a roadside dumpster or to your home’s garbage\/recycling.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
