About
Over 269,000 volunteers and 5 million pounds of litter and debris removed since 1985.
I Love A Clean San Diego has served as the official organizer of Coastal Cleanup Day in San Diego County since it was founded in 1985. San Diego’s Coastal Cleanup Day is a major part of the International Coastal Cleanup, which is facilitated by The Ocean Conservancy and organized statewide by the California Coastal Commission! The International Coastal Cleanup includes many U.S. states, territories, and over 70 countries. In California, data is reported to the California Coastal Commission and funneled into the world’s largest marine database. By volunteering for Coastal Cleanup Day in San Diego, you are joining hundreds of thousands of volunteers all over the world to remove pollution from our ecosystems!
Why Volunteer?
By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish by weight in the world’s oceans if we don’t defend our waterways from litter
Because we LOVE where we live
Get Involved
Anyone can do it! Volunteer as an individual, with friends and family or as a corporate team. All ages welcome.
