Join us for our annual Sound Sweep Series/International Coastal Cleanup event (ICC)! This event is one of thousands around the world, mobilizing millions of volunteers annually to take part in removing marine debris from our local ecosystems and shared spaces.
Volunteers will help collect data, which will help inform long term solutions for plastic-free oceans and waterways. If you’d like to participate in the data collection process using your phone, please download our Clean Swell app before the cleanup to keep track of the trash you collect.
There will be two separate cleanups occurring at the same time: one at Alki Beach and one at Myrtle Edwards Park. Both cleanups will be from 10 am – 12 pm, and you can register for the location that works best for you.
