Take your next field trip to the beach, while empowering your students to make the world a better place! Sea Smart’s shoreline clean-ups are a fun and engaging way for students to learn about plastic pollution, marine animals, and how to protect our ocean.

Our sessions are designed and facilitated by Sea Smart’s highly experienced team of marine biologists and environmental educators to deliver informative and engaging events. Sea Smart will provide all the equipment and protocols needed to ensure a safe cleanup for groups of 10-100 participants.

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 students’ efforts in a measurable and meaningful way! Participants will also join hands-on, educational activities to learn about plastic pollution, marine animals, and how we can help our ocean.
