Join the Movement to Protect Our Coastlines

Since 2020, ORCA volunteers have removed over 58,000 lbs of litter from Rhode Island and Connecticut beaches. Be part of the change.

Our Story

Our mission is to preserve and protect coastlines while inspiring people to take action for a sustainable future. Through impactful, hands-on beach cleanups and collaborations with businesses, schools, and organizations, ORCA works to create cleaner beaches, healthier oceans, and stronger communities. More than just cleanups, ORCA is a movement of people coming together to ensure our coastlines remain vibrant and thriving for generations to come.
