Oakland Community Beach Clean Up

Join Save The Bay & Oceanic Global for a community cleanup in Oakland on Saturday, January 18th from 9 AM – 12 PM at Damon Slough!

Volunteers are invited to join Oceanic Global, the Oakland Roots and Oakland Soul Soccer Clubs, and Corona USA for a litter cleanup of the area surrounding the beach and San Francisco Bay shoreline, preventing marine debris and microplastics from entering our waterways.
