Join us on September 21, 2024 for Coastal Clean-up Day – the statewide movement that removed 376,308 pounds of trash from California’s coastlines and inland waterways last year! Volunteers will enjoy beautiful ocean views while they remove litter and debris, protect native habitats, and help minimize marine debris. This is a fun family-friendly volunteer opportunity, volunteers of all ages are welcome! Registration required

Coastal Clean-up Day is a statewide effort hosted by the California Coastal Commission. For additional sites on the bay side of San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo counties (outside of the GGNRA boundaries), check out the map on the Coastal Commission's website. 

When: Saturday, September 21, 2024; all events are from 9am - noon.

Where: Ocean Beach, Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, and more!

Registration: Check availability and register here! Please be sure to select your desired site from the "Select a Date & Time" drop-down on the registration form.

What to Bring: We invite volunteers to bring their own reusable supplies! Limit waste by bringing your own bag or bucket and gloves if you have them - but don't worry if you don't, we'll have some supplies on site for you to use. Wear proper clothing - closed-toe shoes (no sandals), a hat, and layers - and bring a personal water bottle and sunscreen.
