International Coastal Cleanup


Salty Skin Pacific’s Joe Villacrusis teaches the youth how to collect data during the 2020 ICC.

The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is the world’s largest single-day cleanup event with the goal of collecting and documenting trash littering our coastlines and waterways. Volunteers from states and territories throughout the U.S. and over 100 countries worldwide come together each year and participate in the cleanup event near them. The two layers of science and community service is what distinguishes ICC from everyday cleanups. The data collected during the ICC is entered into the Global Trash Database and is crucial to solving the world’s ocean pollution problem.

It’s as easy as three steps!

  1. Form a Crew
  2. Register
