Celebrating 40 Years of Cleaner Beaches!

For over 40 years, Clean Ocean Action (COA) has been your true-blue ocean defender. With your support, we have successfully transformed the ocean from the verge of ecological collapse to one of vibrant beauty! Gone are the days of tar balls, sewage, medical waste, and garbage slicks washing up on our beaches. This year marks 40 years of cleaner beaches with our Beach Sweeps program, the largest environmental event in New Jersey, and one of the longest running cleanups in the nation. The Jersey Shore is thriving with marine life, and the clean ocean economy is booming! All this, thanks to generous donors like you! 

To continue our important mission, we need funding and people power to defend our ocean. We are truly grateful for the remarkable support of our loyal COA advocates, the Montecalvo and Kyrillos Families. Please help celebrate our success and the dedication of our honorees who have served our communities for decades by becoming an event sponsor or underwriter. There are many options to fit your budget! 

If you have any questions or would like more information, please email events@cleanoceanaction.org or call us 732-872-0111. Tickets will not be mailed, but guest names will be on the guest list at the event entrance for check-in.
