About Clean Shores

Clean Beaches, Healthy Oceans
Clean Shores, a program of Seaside Sustainability—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Gloucester, Massachusetts—works to fight ocean pollution through sustainable beach cleanup. We use blue technologies, environmentally safe innovations that remove litter from beaches. Our current initiative is to acquire our first BeBot—an eco-friendly, beach-cleaning robot designed to maintain clean, healthy shorelines starting in New England. Ultimately, we aim to deploy two to three BeBots to support large-scale beach cleanups and strengthen marine conservation along coastlines throughout New England, New York, and New Jersey.


Our Mission
To combat marine pollution through innovative technology, sustainable beach cleaning, and community education, ensuring cleaner, safer beaches along the New England coast.

Our Vision
To be a leader in beach and marine conservation, recognized for driving awareness, inspiring sustainable change, and pioneering innovative solutions.

Cleaner Beaches
We strive to keep beaches pristine by removing harmful debris that threatens marine life and beachgoers. BeBot’s advanced technology efficiently removes small debris often overlooked by traditional cleanup efforts, ensuring a healthier coastal environment.

Education & Outreach
We're committed to community engagement and education. Through outreach programs and collaborations with universities and research institutions, we raise awareness about marine conservation, sustainable practices, and the impact of pollution.
