Kids'
Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup 2010: Thursday, May 27- stay tuned for details!
Thanks
to all who helped us bring over 700 elementary school students to
Bolsa Chica State Beach for the 15th Annual Kids' Adopt-A-Beach
Cleanup on June 4th, 2009! Our students, teachers and over
70 volunteers created an amazing aerial art design and left Bolsa
Chica a lot cleaner.
We couldn't have done this event without the help
of Save Our Beach and
Sam's Club, who helped
us recruit volunteers and provided important supplies. Also, thanks
to a special donation from Lexus,
we were able to send each participant home with a Kids Ocean Day
canvas tote, to bring home the message of reducing plastic use.

Kids Ocean Day
is an annual celebration and call to action for the protection of
the world's oceans. The event's goal is to allow students
to interact with the environment in order to truly lean the importance
of preserving it. Sponsored by the California
Coastal Commission, Ocean Day events are hosted through the
state by different organizations. It includes a series of
assemblies, beach clean-up, and aerial art.

Ocean Day 2008
For
our first year as Ocean Day coordinator, 500 students from 6 local
schools participated in the beach cleanup and aerial art activities.
Through this incredible program, we learned the impact that students
can have in their community when you help them make a connection
with their environment and show them ways they can make a difference.
