Saving the ocean and waterways from garbage, one collection at a time

Cleaning California

The San Francisco Bay faces significant challenges. The Bay and its connecting rivers also know as the delta are affected by commercial ships as well as other pollutants. The Bay System collects debris and trash that comes throughout Northern California and abroad. Over 80% of the trash includes harmful plastics, which persist in the environment, affecting wildlife and ecosystems. Trash, as well as urban runoff, washes microplastics and other contaminants into surrounding water. These micro plastics are found in alarming quantities, affecting water quality and local marine life. While local initiatives and policies aim to reduce single-use plastics, trash pollution remains a serious environmental concern. With your contribution, we can make a change in our backyard.
