Organize a Beach Cleanup in Venice Beach, California
Join the Movement to Protect Venice Beach
Venice Beach is one of California’s most iconic coastlines—but like many popular beaches, it faces ongoing threats from plastic pollution, including microplastics and nurdles. Ocean Blue Project is committed to protecting Venice Beach through community-driven cleanup efforts that remove harmful debris before it reaches the ocean.
Whether you’re an individual, school, nonprofit, or corporate group, you can play a direct role in keeping Venice Beach clean and protecting marine life.
Why Venice Beach Needs Cleanup Efforts
Heavy foot traffic, urban runoff, and ocean currents all contribute to pollution along Venice Beach. Plastic waste—including bottles, packaging, and tiny plastic pellets known as nurdles—can quickly accumulate and harm wildlife.
Without regular cleanups:
- Marine animals ingest plastic and microplastics n- Toxic pollutants spread through the ecosystem
- Beaches become unsafe for both wildlife and people
Your participation helps stop plastic pollution at the source.
