Ocean Conservancy educates and empowers citizens to take action on behalf of the ocean. From the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico to the halls of Congress, Ocean Conservancy brings people together to find solutions for our water planet. Informed by science, our work guides policy and engages people in protecting the ocean and its wildlife for future generations. The ocean sustains us with the basic elements of life—it produces half of the oxygen in the air we breathe, and it is an essential part of the water cycle, helping to provide the water we drink.

The world’s beaches, the frontier of this essential resource, support ocean health. They provide habitat and nesting grounds for important ocean wildlife like sea turtles and sea birds, and they attract vacationers from around the world, helping to sustain complex coastal economies .

Initiative

International Coastal Cleanup.

International Coastal Cleanup at Ocean Conservancy

An initiative of Ocean Conservancy, listed here at the request of Altruistica’s co-founder.

Altruistica has rallied for the International Coastal Cleanup since 2014. From our appeal that year: “Every year, on the third Saturday in September, people join together at sites all over California to take part in the State’s largest volunteer event, California Coastal Cleanup Day. The event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup Day, organized by the Ocean Conservancy, which is the largest volunteer event on the planet!” And after it: “This weekend, we wrapped up another fantastic International Coastal Cleanup. Thank you so much to all of our volunteers and supporters who came out to make a difference for our ocean.”

Quotations are from Altruistica’s published appeals of July and September 2014. See the campaigns.
