Heal the Ocean
May 2026 E-Letter

In May, HTO hosted record-breaking volunteer beach cleanups with more than 110 volunteers removing 400+ pounds of trash from our coastline. HTO and our partners at Earthcomb removed an additional 3,080 pounds of trash and hazardous waste near Atascadero Creek in Goleta.

HTO and TowBoatUS partnered in a rapid response effort to protect the Summerland shoreline from a beached vessel, and HTO advocated for policies that will increase the resilience of Santa Barbara's waterfront and benefit local biodiversity.

This month’s e-letter highlights these inspiring cleanup efforts, a celebration of the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project, important policy updates, an upcoming event, a volunteer spotlight, and the incredible support helping drive our Jack Johnson Matching Campaign nearly to our goal. Thank you for being part of the movement to protect the health and vitality of our coast!

Heal the Ocean is excited to share that this April, we partnered with Marborg Industries to expand a regional EPS (also known as Styrofoam) recycling program—now brought fully local to Santa Barbara. We also partnered with Earthcomb to remove over 1,600 lbs of trash and hazardous waste from More Mesa, including 30+ aerosol cans and 20 propane canisters—materials that can pose serious risks to coastal ecosystems.
