July 5th is a perfect moment to clean up messy beaches after a weekend of July 4th celebrations — Join RE Sources and Surfrider for our monthly beach cleanup! We will be meeting at Locust Beach in Bellingham from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Trash grabbers, gloves, and bags provided, and bagels provided by Bagelry. Note that this location includes some stairs down to the beach.

To combat plastic pollution in the Salish Sea, we host beach cleanups — as well as cleanups along rivers and lakes — throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties, providing cleanup equipment and a place to connect with like-minded community members. Plastic pollution is a concern for water quality and wildlife everywhere, and has even been discovered in drinking water and table salt worldwide. Recent research found that Pacific Ocean juvenile fish have been consuming microplastic particles in their first days of life, with not-yet understood health consequences.
