Coastal Cleanup Day is the biggest environmental day of action of the year, inspiring millions of volunteers all over the world to make an impact. Here in Los Angeles County, Heal the Bay coordinates Coastal Cleanup Day efforts across more than 50 coastal, inland, dive, and kayak cleanup sites. This year, on September 23, 2023, Heal the Bay will celebrate its 34th year coordinating this amazing event, and we are expecting 7,000 volunteers to participate in LA County alone!

Help Heal the Bay remove thousands of pounds of trash from our watershed.
