Save a Fish for Earth Day
April 18, 2021 @ 3:00 am - April 30, 2021 @ 10:00 am
Join Shark Stewards efforts to keep the ocean clean in San Francisco and in Southern California. Community cleanups are a great to get away from the screen and outside in nature. Fun for kids too!
This Earth Day we are Speaking Out Against Overfishing. Make a sign, wear a costume, share the message for #0Bycatch and #StopOverfishing.
ABOUT
Our cleanups focus on branded single use plastic like coca cola, straws and cigarette butts which we count and collect data and recycle what we can.
Participants are encouraged to collect their own data using the app to enter your beach data on the NOAA App on Marine Debris Tracker. The Project is Shark Stewards.
Optional- add flora and fauna (plants, insects, birds, mammals) observations using iNaturalist.
