Beach cleanup at Locust Beach

Join RE Sources and Surfrider for our monthly trash cleanup at Locust Beach (3199 Locust Ave, Bellingham). Trash grabbers, gloves, and bags provided, and bagels provided by Bagelry.

To combat plastic pollution in the Salish Sea, we host beach cleanups — as well as cleanups along rivers and lakes — throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties, providing cleanup equipment and a place to connect with like-minded community members.

Plastic pollution is a concern for water quality and wildlife everywhere, and has even been discovered in drinking water and table salt worldwide. Recent research found that Pacific Ocean juvenile fish have been consuming microplastic particles in their first days of life, with not-yet understood health consequences.
