About Us

Welcome to Clean The Coast, where two high schoolers from Portsmouth, NH are making a big impact on our environment, one beach at a time. Founded by Ben Gotlieb and Mason Patterson, Clean The Coast is a youth-driven organization dedicated to preserving the beauty of our coastlines and making a positive difference in New Hampshire.

Our Mission

At Clean The Coast, our mission is clear: to protect and preserve our beautiful coastlines and oceans. We are committed to organizing beach clean-up events to remove plastic waste, trash, and debris from our shores. Our efforts aim to restore the natural beauty of our beaches and ensure they remain clean for generations to come.

Our Approach

We believe in the power of community and collaboration. By involving volunteers of all ages in the Portsmouth community, we create a sense of unity in our mission. Together, we tackle the pressing issue of coastal pollution, fostering a sense of responsibility for the environment among our peers.

T-Shirts for a Cause

To fund our clean-up efforts and support the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, Clean The Coast proudly offers a line of stylish and eco-friendly t-shirts. When you purchase one of our shirts, you not only get an addition to your wardrobe but also contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet.

Join Us in Making Waves of Change

Whether you're a student, a parent, or a beach enthusiast, we invite you to join Clean The Coast in our mission. Together, we can make a difference, one beach at a time. Connect with us on social media, volunteer at our clean-up events, or purchase one of our t-shirts to support our cause. Together, we can turn the tide on coastal pollution and create a cleaner, healthier world for all.
