Clean up a shoreline and give animals the litter-free home they deserve! Your Mission:

Mission Objective:

Every year, hundreds of thousands of kilograms worth of garbage and fishing refuse are found washed up on our shores, polluting important animal habitat. Through the Shoreline Saver Mission, kids are challenged to team up with friends and family to complete a shoreline cleanup in their community.

To complete this Mission, kids will…

  • Read through the Mission Brief to learn how trash on shorelines can hurt animals.
  • Find a nearby shoreline that needs their help.
  • Use the “How to Save a Shoreline Guide” to make sure they have everything they need to complete the Mission safely, including a team of friends and family to help out.
  • Head out to their shoreline with their team of Shoreline Savers.
  • Take a #ShorelineSelfie at shore before they start cleaning and another one when they’re done to show off their hard work.

Mission Items:

When members accept this Mission, they receive a Mission Brief, a How-to guide and a Shoreline Saver Crest.
