August — or Fogust as we like to call it around here — was a busy month. In addition to our 13 cleanup and habitat restoration events, we also participated in the annual dog surfing championship by offering cleanup support. Throughout the month, many of our dedicated volunteers were treated to majestic humpback whale sightings and eye-opening pelican dives while […]

Summer is here — even though it doesn’t necessarily look or feel like it on the coast. With the summer months comes more visitors to our beaches and even more trash that needs to be intercepted before it ends up in the ocean. In addition to our regularly scheduled events, we also supported the City of Pacifica during their post-July […]

In addition, we celebrated Pacifica Pride with a booth at Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School and hosted a special […]

Check out the results from some of our March 2025 events. Rockaway […]

During this special “month of love,” our naturalist Julie asked volunteers to handwrite love letters to the ocean on paper hearts. Unsurprisingly, the notes were very heartwarming. The shortest month of the year brought us a mix of sun and rain yet lots of smiles as hundreds of volunteers banded together to do good for their community. Check out the […]

Check out what our field sites reported. Rockaway Cleanup Highlights: It was a hazy morning, and we welcomed volunteers […]
