Wildlife Jewels’ Marine Debris Cleanup and Wildlife Tales Program:

Our “Marine Debris Cleanup and Wildlife Tales “Program” provide a distinctive chance to make a significant impact on marine conservation while delving into the experiences of distinctive marine life that have been affected by human activities. Through cleanup activities and captivating narratives, you'll play a vital role in preserving our oceans and nurturing a stronger sense of responsibility for our natural world. Join us in protecting these incredible creatures by taking small actions every day.

On July 9th, we observed several beautiful Western Gulls picking up charcoal and burnt wood from the sand. We held our first Sweep for Wildlife Beach Cleanup in Solan Beach in August! And Thanks to the invaluable help of our community volunteers, we collected at least 90 pounds of charcoal, burnt wood, and 111 nails during our cleanup, removing a significant hazard that our precious wildlife could otherwise ingest!

Join us as we continue this invaluable cause, uniting the community to clean our beautiful beach while educating about our precious wildlife and the ways you can help keep our beach safe for both wildlife and people!
