LEARN MORE ABOUT AND HOW TO USE THE CLEANSWELL APP

When you collect and record the debris you have collected you BECOME A CITIZEN SCIENTIST!

TIP: INSTEAD OF USING A PAPER DATA CARD TO RECORD THE MARINE DEBRIS THAT YOU COLLECT USE THE CLEANSWELL APP

Meet Clean Swell – the trash collection mobile app created by the Ocean Conservancy promoting Trash Free Seas.

Join this global movement to keep beaches, waterways and the ocean trash free. Head out to your favorite beach and use the app to easily record each item of trash you collect. Then share your effort with family and friends.
