Harbor Clean Up with the Mayor!
The first Sunday of each month, we have the pleasure of working with the Surfrider Foundation Huntington/Seal Beach Chapter at their Help Your Harbor Cleanup.
Cleanup Location: Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals
16732 Pacific Coast Hwy, Sunset Beach, CA 90742
Cleanup Time: First Sunday of Each Month / 8:45am-11:30am
Members of the community gather together to remove trash from the waterways, while enjoying several hours of free kayaking and, often times, festivities to follow.
The kayaks are graciously provided by local business, Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals.
While this monthly event is a great deal of fun, it's also an incredibly educational experience. Huntington Harbor Cleanup Chairman, Shane Coons, and the Surfrider committee members teach about the impacts of waste on the environment and the importance of practicing the four R's; Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle.
The goal is to help the community understand the need for improved actions, particularly when it comes to biodegradability and packaging reduction.
During the cleanup we met with the Mayor of Huntington Beach, Jill Hardy, who stopped by to talk about the important role that Surfrider plays in our community and the harmful effects that careless waste behavior can cause.
Help raise awareness of the link between inland pollution of waterways, oceans and beaches for the health and sustainability of crucial ecosystems by getting involved with your local Surfrider Chapter.
