About Clean Shores

Frame 52.png

Clean Beaches, Healthy Oceans

Clean Shores is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, dedicated to fighting ocean pollution. We use blue technologies, which are innovative marine debris intervention devices that will help remove waste from our beaches and oceans without harming the environment. Our current initiative is to acquire our first BeBot—an eco-friendly, beach-cleaning robot that will help maintain clean, healthy shorelines in the Gloucester, Massachusetts area. Eventually, our goal is to have enough BeBots to clean the whole New England coastline (plus New York and New Jersey).
