It’s that time of year again, time for the International Coastal Cleanup® (ICC)! The NOAA Marine Debris Program is proud to support Ocean Conservancy's efforts to bring people together around the globe for this annual cleanup event.

Every year, this international effort encourages hundreds of thousands of volunteers to act locally and clean up debris in their communities. Wherever you are, whoever you’re with, you can contribute to this global event and Sea The Change—even if you’re cleaning up your local neighborhood or park! Your local cleanup efforts will contribute to something bigger as people around the world remove trash, collect data, and make their mark on the problem.

Find an International Coastal Cleanup event near you using the Ocean Conservancy’s interactive map and record the trash you find on the Clean SwellⓇ app. Learn more on the Ocean Conservancy website.
