Since launching on Earth Day in 2023, the Beach Befriender program has helped “BeFriend” dozens of local beaches. Hundreds of pounds of marine debris have been collected, documented, and properly disposed of. Big thanks to the Vineyard Conservation Society for leading this vital effort.

Good morning, PNW here. Any of these programs here on the Washington Coast?
