H2O Trash Patrol

What began as a lesson to small children has since blossomed into an enterprising mission to clean up our waterways and beaches for the futures of these young impressionable and pure minds. Recently awarded the Environmental Hero Award by the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, H2O Trash Patrol is passionate about making a difference by physically getting out there on the beaches and in the water to pull out as much trash as possible and bringing awareness of the growing plastic and debris in our world's oceans.

Have you ever called someone a "litterbug"? And then not picked up the piece of trash sitting near your foot? Every time we pass by debris and not pick it up, we are making a statement that it's okay to have trash on the ground. Now imagine you left that piece of trash on the beach. It won't be there the next time. It will have moved on, picked up by the tide, into the ocean, down the current, and transplanted to another beach, where it is joined by the other pieces of trash you didn't pick up.

This is where H2O Trash Patrol comes in. We are dedicated to continuously making a difference by picking up the litter on the beaches, and in the bays, lagoons, and waterways. It is our mission to clean up these pristine environments, making them safer and more enjoyable for people to visit and healthier for the wildlife and our oceans overall.
