The prevalence of waste in the marine and coastal environment is a worldwide environmental problem and a growing concern. our organization has galvanized communities and students to collect trash that pollutes our waterways, making our coasts cleaner and our ocean healthier not only at the ocean beaches but at the stormwater drains and Lakes leading to the Ocean. We are also extending our invitation to international volunteers to join us and help in cleaning the ocean that we are serving. We also do Educational campaigns in the schools around the ocean by teaching them about environment conservation and swimming classes and ocean literacy lessons which will involve our international volunteers. It’s a unique opportunity for international volunteers to explore the city and the communities we are serving
