Ocean Institute Earns Clean California Community Designation
We are proud to announce that Ocean Institute has officially earned the designation as an official “Clean California Community” from Caltrans’ Clean CA initiative. This recognition makes Ocean Institute one of a select number of communities and organizations across California to receive this honor.
Leading the Statewide Zero-Litter Movement
This designation reflects Ocean Institute’s role as a leader in California’s Zero Litter movement, helping to reduce waste, protect coastal habitats, and keep our shoreline clean, healthy, and beautiful.
Over the past year, Ocean Institute has worked with volunteers, K–12 student groups, nonprofit partners, and our Dana Point community to reduce litter in and around the harbor, expand environmental education, implement long-term litter-prevention practices, and improve public coastal spaces for residents and visitors!
