Cleanup Data




Save Our Shores Cleanup Data


Save Our Shores collects data at all river and beach cleanups.  Our volunteers work hard to identify and count each piece of trash that we collect, whether it is a small piece of plastic or an entire couch!  SOS uses this data to inform local, regional and statewide leaders on the most common types of debris and possible solutions to the plastic pollution that is plaguing our oceans. 
Volunteer collecting data

If you are participating in a SOS cleanup, data cards will be provided by your cleanup leader.  If you are a business, school or civic group that is holding a beach cleanup you can use SOS' data cards at your cleanup and then report your findings to us!  Data cards can be downloaded here, emailed to you or picked up from our office.

Use our online database to report the data from a cleanup you recently participated in!  This is an easy way to participate in both removing and preventing marine debris.

Check out our graphs of the marine debris data that we've been hard at work collecting.  These graphs can help you understand what debris is most commonly found.  You can also request our raw data by contacting cleanup@saveourshores.org.
