Santa Barbara “Operation Harbor Clean Sweep”

This volunteer seafloor clean-up program has collected more than 21 tons of debris during eleven annual one-day events. During the 2018 event, a record number of volunteers helped to clean up Marina Two. This event alone they collected 2 tons of items ranging from bicycles, a refrigerator, fishing poles, tires, and crab receivers to dock carts, a marine battery, toilets, and a boat hull. 

Next year we will continue the seafloor litter-removal project in Marina One.
