Speaker: Rachael Roehl from Sustainable Coastlines on beach cleanups and coastal stewardships.
Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii is a grassroots, local nonprofit organization run by a small team of dedicated staff and supported by passionate volunteers, just like you! We inspire local communities to care for their coastlines through fun, hands-on beach cleanups. We also coordinate educational programs, team building corporate cleanups, waste diversion services, public awareness campaigns and we help others organize their own beach cleanup
Started in 2010, Inspired by our good friend's Sustainable Coastlines in New Zealand, they decided to take keeping our beaches clean into their own hands while making the work fun. Cleanups can only do so much. So they now utilize cleanups to inspire better consumer behaviors and continued coastal stewardship through cleanups, education, social media, and more.
We are partnering with Sustainable Coastlines for the April 24th, Rotarians at Work Day. We will have a club team State-wide doing clean-up projects.
