Coastal cleanup refers to organized efforts to remove trash and debris from beaches and coastal areas. These activities aim to protect marine life, improve the health of ecosystems, and enhance the beauty of shorelines. Volunteers often participate in these events, collecting items like plastic bottles, food wrappers, and fishing gear. Many organizations, such as Ocean Conservancy and Surfrider Foundation, coordinate coastal cleanup events worldwide. These initiatives not only help clean the environment but also raise awareness about the impact of pollution on oceans and wildlife. Regular cleanups contribute to the long-term sustainability of coastal habitats and promote community involvement.
