CLEAN COAST COALITION
Taking action to make our community a beautiful and healthy place for all who inhabit it
Seaside Sustainability and Keep Massachusetts Beautiful are both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations rooted in the same goal: taking action to make our communities a beautiful and healthy place for all who inhabit them!
We have come together under our partnership, Clean Coast Coalition, to address the marine debris problem along New England coastlines through action and education.
About
Clean Coast Coalition’s goal is to improve local water-based ecosystems through the use of the PixieDrone and other “BlueTech” devices like the BeBot. This remote-controlled aqua-drone conducts water quality testing, records and transmits live footage, and filters debris and invasive fauna out of the water to be separated into four categories; trash, compostables, plastics, and other recyclables. Removing this water-based debris creates a safer and more enjoyable environment for marine organisms and humans alike.
Clean Coast Coalition will use this BlueTech device to not only reduce the amount of harmful debris in local waters, but also to educate the local community about the dangers of litter and marine debris in their environment. Through the collection of water quality data, camera footage, and the debris retrieved by the device, we aim to raise awareness and inspire local residents to prevent debris from entering local waterways in the first place.
