Let’s go to the beach!

Our cleanups go beyond simply cleaning up the beach. Led by our experts, you'll gain an understanding of the crucial role our ocean plays through interactive activities suitable for all ages. You will also learn about the environmental impact of various everyday items to empower you with the knowledge to make more sustainable choices. We’ll bring all of the reusable cleanup equipment and take care of permits and insurance, all you need to do is bring a group of enthusiastic changemakers!
We also measure metrics such as the area of habitat cleaned, the weight of garbage removed, and the number of cigarette butts removed. These data allow you to share your groups’ efforts in a measurable and meaningful way!
*Shoreline cleanups delivered by Sea Smart are only available to groups in the Lower Mainland. There are limited spots available and these will be offered on a first come first served basis.
