Litter
Waste in general can be a big problem, but litter is even worse, which is why noting these disposal centers is imperative in keeping trash off our beaches. Debris can be hazardous to wildlife, like sea turtles and dolphins. Visit Tangled in Trash to report wildlife interactions with marine debris.
The following organizations host beach cleanups and litter sweeps, allowing people to participate in hands-on volunteering and make a change.
