All One Ocean’s Beach Cleanup Stations (BCUS) are permanent, community-generated, and individually managed. They're great for an individual, family, or small or large group to adopt and steward.
BCUS are a practical way to ensure that cleanup is happening every day on our beaches, not just on designated cleanup days. Like "adopt a highway" campaigns, BCUS create community based on upkeep and promotion of these hubs. Eventually, people will come to the beach and automatically think about cleaning up trash as they enjoy activities. We work to make sure they understand that removing ocean trash directly protects humans and sea life.

Note from Hallie Iglehart, founder of All One Ocean:
When I first read in 1986 about the millions of sea creatures who die from eating or getting entangled in our trash, I started picking up trash whenever I went to the beach. Looking for a way to make it easy for people to join me, I founded All One Ocean in 2010 with the goal to establish Beach Cleanup Stations (BCUS) on beaches around the world. We launched our first BCUS in 2011 at Limantour Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore. We have expanded BCUS to beaches across the San Francisco Bay Area, across the USA, Mexico and beyond. The stations provide re-purposed collection trash bags for beachgoers, as well as educational materials. My deep gratitude goes to many for their support of All One Ocean.
