Join the Adopt-A-Beach Coastwide Cleanup

As a local host of the Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach Program, we’ll be doing our part to remove waste and other debris from the coastlines with the help of our community, making our beaches safer and more enjoyable for people and wildlife alike!


Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup

Since 2013, thousands of volunteers and staff have collected a heaping 112,776 pounds of trash along 9 miles of Texas coastline at North Beach Bay. Help us clean North Beach during the annual Adopt-a-Beach Fall Cleanup. Cleanup supplies will be distributed in individual kits, available for pickup on the Aquarium’s front lawn. Please wear closed-toed shoes, dress for the weather, and bring a water bottle.
