beach cleanup
Coastal litter removal
A beach cleanup is an organized effort to remove litter and debris from shorelines.
Volunteers collect trash—bottles, wrappers, fishing line, plastic fragments—to protect marine life and restore coastal areas.
The term also describes the activity itself: We're doing a beach cleanup this Saturday.
Environmental groups host them regularly, and they've become popular community events.
