The International Coastal Cleanup is an international initiative that takes place annually September 1 through October 31. The event is designed to remove trash from beaches and waterways around the world. This cleanup is fueled by volunteer organizations and individuals with the goal of changing behavior toward cleaner, healthier waterways. Each piece of debris collected from the cleanup site is identified and tracked to provide a cumulative understanding of the debris that may find its way to our beaches and waterways. This dataset is updated annually.
