Annual Oregon Coast Clean Up and Awareness Day occurs annually on April 23rd, marking the date of the Clean Up and Awareness Day of the Oregon Beaches on April 19, 2017.
Established to raise awareness about the value of wetlands for humanity and the planet, Annual Coast Awareness Day was celebrated for the first time in April 23, 2017 and with over 300 volunteers taking part.
Each. Year. government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens at all levels of the community, have taken advantage of the opportunity to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of our coastal beach values and benefits.
?Some of these benefits include: biologically diverse ecosystems that provide habitat for many species, serve as buffers on the coast against storms and flooding, and naturally filter water by breaking down or transforming harmful pollutants and a major attractions to locals and tourist alike.
With over 60% of all people living in coastal cities and with over 70% percent of the world being water its time to act now to make the improvements needed.

If you donate to a nonprofit that buys plastic bags to market please ask them to stop spending your donations on plastic bags!
