Message in a Bottle: Working to stop plastic pollution at the source
Every beach cleanup turns up something unexpected. This season, one of our volunteers found a message in a bottle. It was sealed, weathered, and clearly written with great care. Let’s just say it wasn’t a love letter, and we won’t be reprinting it here.

It got a laugh from everyone on the beach that day. It also made a point we come back to every season: everything that washes up on our shores came from somewhere, and someone put it there.
This summer, 253 volunteers joined us for eight waterway cleanups, from Locust Beach to Cherry Point.
