Sea Hugger collaborates with Coastside schools, sponsors marine-related college scholarships, and provides free educational resources online to to teach the youth how to protect the ocean. We keep our beaches and streets clean through our cleanup and cigarette butt bin programs, and help grow reusable foodware programs in San Mateo County striving for a circular economy. We also promote conservation laws and share actions we can all take at home to reduce our footprint.
"Sea Hugger works with my son's school in El Granada, teaching kids environmental responsibility, particularly when it comes to keeping our local beaches clean. I've seen significant changes in my son's attitude toward the beach! He loves to clean up and proactively cleans the beach himself whenever we go and spreads the word to his friends. I love to see him incorporating a sense of social responsibility at the young age of 6!" - Matt R.
Sea Hugger is a nonprofit organization focused on protecting and healing the marine environment from plastic pollution through action and education to drive systemic change that addresses the root cause of the issue. Our mission is to educate the public to reduce plastic dependency, while focusing on protecting the marine environment, ensuring the intrinsic rights of aquatic life, and helping create sustainable communities that are no longer affected by plastic pollution.
Help us update our beach cleanup equipment and expand our education and outreach programs so we can increase our impact. We need funding to advocate for policy changes at the national, state, and local level, which includes the reusable foodware policy in San Mateo County, so that we can keep Half Moon Bay clean and healthy. Your support also enables us to continue our local high school scholarship program and expand our micro-grants for grassroots ocean protection projects.
