beach cleanups

Coastal litter removal

Beach cleanups are organized events where volunteers gather to remove trash and debris from shorelines.

They combine environmental conservation with community action, targeting plastic waste, fishing line, and other marine litter that threatens wildlife and ecosystems.

The local surf club hosts monthly beach cleanups.

The term also applies to the activity itself: Beach cleanup is surprisingly satisfying work.
