 Organization That Helps The Environment
As an ocean cleanup organization and a nonprofit environmental organization active in ocean conservation, Ocean Blue is proud of our ocean cleanup volunteers and the communities creating a cleaner blue ocean by registering for environmental volunteer opportunities near me and lowering the amount of plastic pollution ending up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Ocean Blue is learning more about plastic in our ocean and how marine pollution or plastic pollution is traveling down rivers into our ocean and back onto beaches. The impact of plastics on marine environments is profound, with single-use plastics being particularly prevalent in oceans. Reducing plastic pollution is critical for preserving ecosystems like coral reefs and maintaining biodiversity. Collective action is needed to address this urgent environmental issue.

What to Pick Up
How to stop ocean pollution - Beach cleanup near me
Cleanup Best Practices
- Split recyclables and trash into separate bags
- Tie trash bags and dispose in dumpsters (beware overflowing bins: they can cause items to fly away and end up back in the water)
- Don’t pick up weapons or anything that looks like it came from a hospital. Mark questionable items and inform your organizer or the lifeguard.Â
- If it occurs naturally in nature — like kelp, shells, driftwood — leave it be (try not disrupt animals and plants in the area)
- Know your cleanup zone boundaries and meeting timesÂ
- Take note of the nearest lifeguard station and know what to do in case of an emergency
