ADOPT-A-BEACH
Heal the Bay’s Adopt-A-Beach program is for individuals, families, and households that are eager to be a part of the solution to ocean pollution. Ocean pollution starts at our front doors, and local trash on our streets travels through the storm drain systems, creeks, and rivers to become beach and ocean pollution. Everyone can take part and help prevent ocean-bound trash by participating in local neighborhood cleanups.
To get started, visit the Adopt-A-Beach website.
