California Coastal Cleanup Day
Coastal Cleanup Day had its humble beginnings right here in Humboldt County as a program of the NEC in the late 1970s. It was adopted statewide through the California Coastal Commission a few years later and has since become an international event celebrated worldwide! Coastal Cleanup Day is the single largest volunteer event in support of the marine environment. With your help, over 1,000 Humboldt County Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers remove about eight tons of trash and recyclables from our beaches, rivers, bay and estuaries each year. Coupled with efforts throughout the state and around the world, Coastal Cleanup Day makes a quantitative difference in how much trash enters our ocean. The Northcoast Environmental Center coordinates 60+ cleanups throughout Humboldt County—requiring an immense amount of staff time and community coordination. We will be seeking site captains and volunteers, as well as financial sponsorships to cover coordination costs. Contact the NEC at 707-822-6918 for more information or email coastalcleanup@yourenec.org to get involved.
