This World Ocean Day, Sea Shepherd crews are mobilizing across North America and Mexico to remove plastic, fishing gear, and marine debris from coastlines, rivers, lakes, and reefs. Find a cleanup near you and get to work.
Beyond World Ocean Day
The CleanupIs the Beginning.
Sea Shepherd chapters do not disappear when the event ends. They organize cleanups, outreach, fundraising, education programs, and local direct action year round.
What That Looks Like
Boston, MA
Charles River
Volunteers organize Charles River cleanups and public outreach events.
Lynchburg, VA
James River
Crews remove plastic from the James River and bring marine conservation into schools and community spaces.
What every chapter needs is simple: people who will keep showing up. People who will organize, recruit, raise funds, and build pressure for marine conservation long after World Ocean Day is over.
If you want more than a single cleanup, join the crew.

Ship crew is a different commitment — long days, real maritime work, and weeks or months deployed on campaign vessels defending marine wildlife on the front lines.
