Join our crew, without having to get in the mud with us. We have volunteers willing to get in the mud and endure sun, bug bites, and scrapes. You do not have to personally encounter the snakes and spiders to help us make a difference. A small monthly donation allows us to rent boats, and dumpsters, buy fuel, and cover our overhead and logistical costs. Your donation will remove trash and debris from wildlife-critical coastal areas.

Now you can show the world you helped clear our nation’s coastlines of debris and trash. All levels of support are very important to us. A donation helps us place a cleanup volunteer, by boat, on a rural coastline. What we do and where we go requires boats, equipment, and a lot of people willing to get dirty and work hard under adverse conditions.

Show people your commitment to helping improve the quantity and quality of the health of America’s seafood industry. The general public knows that trash and debris are bad for wildlife but does not understand why. Trash, especially plastics clogs an animal’s intestinal tract and within a week they have died an extremely slow and painful death. Debris such as old treated wood, arsenic, and creosote slowly leeches out and poisons an area. This results in significantly reduced populations of shellfish, shrimp, and young fish inhabiting areas adjacent to heavy coast trash and debris areas.
