Pick up beach cleanup supplies, refreshments, and join us on Bellingham’s waterfront to prevent trash from getting into Bellingham Bay! I’s a great idea for a Valentine’s Day weekend date — there’s no better way to impress your bae than showing them you care about protecting our waterways, right? 

Saturday, February 15th
1:00–3:00pm
Locust Beach, 3199 Locust Ave., Bellingham. Map here. NOTE: This location has stairs leading down to the beach.

To combat plastic pollution in the Salish Sea, we host beach cleanups — as well as cleanups along rivers and lakes — throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties, providing cleanup equipment and a place to connect with like-minded community members.

Plastic pollution is a concern for water quality and wildlife everywhere, and has even been discovered in drinking water and table salt worldwide. Recent research found that Pacific Ocean juvenile fish have been consuming microplastic particles in their first days of life, with not-yet understood health consequences.

Thank you to the Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment and Waste Action Project for supporting this work.
