Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Sea Turtle & Trash Talk Outreach Program
Our founder, Amy Beach, started the Sea Turtle & Trash Talk outreach program to let audiences know that plastics and other marine debris are polluting our beaches and creating an unsafe environment for nesting sea turtles. To give audiences an idea of the different types of trash that wash up on the beach, Amy puts samples of marine debris on display. The audience also gets a chance to see "treasures" such as sharks' teeth that were found on the beach.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are dedicated to reducing plastic and trash pollution on our beaches. To achieve this, we have installed informative posters at the entrances to local beaches to encourage beach goers to take their trash away and to leave only their footprints. Our aim is to extend our information program by installing posters on the beaches in neighboring counties.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
* Organize community Beach cleanups
* Create ocean-themed art pieces by using marine debris as construction materials
* Work with local schools and students who want to create artistic pieces from marine debris
* Perform outreach programs at local festivals
* Perform speaking engagements throughout the community
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have website that shows out annual schedule of events. We announce upcoming beach cleanups, outreach programs, festivals we will be attending, and speaking engagements. We encourage groups and organizations to complete a form on the website to request more information or contact us if they want to participate in any of these events.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Each morning, our volunteers pick up trash that was left behind by beach goers, and trash that washed up in the morning tide. We have installed educational signs and ocean-themed art pieces on the beaches throughout the community to inform the public about protecting nesting sea turtles. Our next step is to extend out information program by installing posters on beaches in neighboring counties.
