Ocean Day Kids’ Adopt-A-Beach Clean Up
Each Spring, ILACSD partners with the California Coastal Commission to coordinate San Diego County’s Ocean Day Kids’ Adopt-A-Beach Clean Up event. This program provides interactive presentations about pollution prevention and marine ecosystems to thousands of students. Students are then invited to participate in a field trip to the beach to take part in a clean up event and an aerial art formation in the sand.
The aerial art formation sends a larger message to the San Diego community that clean beaches are a vital part our livelihood. We also want to ensure the beaches are respected. The event teaches students the dangers of pollution in our marine ecosystems and the important role they play in helping keep our beaches clean.
The video from The Malibu Foundation for Environmental Education on the left shows the process of creating a human aerial art piece.

More than 1,000 students, teachers, and volunteers hit the sand to clean Crown Point Shores in Mission Bay. After the cleanup, participants made an aerial art image of the endangered California Least Tern, with the message "Sustain Life."
