Santa Barbara Harbor Clean SweepWaterfront

Santa Barbara “Operation Harbor Clean Sweep” - Saturday, May 6, 2017

This volunteer seafloor clean-up program has collected more than 19 tons of debris during eleven annual one-day events. During the 2017 event, around 50 volunteers helped to clean up Marina Three. This year alone they collected 1.5 tons of items ranging from bicycles, a galley sink, fishing poles, a steering wheel, and crab receivers to dock carts, tires, dock steps, outboard motors, a fiberglass skiff, an inflatable boat and a microwave oven. 

Mark your calendars for next year's event - May 5, 2018 - when we will continue the seafloor litter-removal project in Marina Two.
