Stewardship is climate action; join us on September 19, 2026 for the 42nd annual Coastal Cleanup Day – the statewide movement that helps clear trash from California’s coastlines and inland waterways every year! Volunteers will enjoy beautiful ocean views while they remove litter, protect native habitats, help minimize marine debris, and care for a shoreline that connects people, wildlife, and communities across our region. This is a fun family-friendly volunteer opportunity, volunteers of all ages are welcome! Registration Required.
Coastal Cleanup Day is a statewide effort hosted by the California Coastal Commission. For additional sites on the bay side of San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo counties (outside of the GGNRA boundaries, check out the map on the Coastal Commission's website.
