Climate change is not just a future problem. It is happening right now. Beaches are filling with plastic. Oceans are getting warmer. Clean water is becoming harder to find. Children will feel these changes more than anyone else.
That is why Earthshore exists. Earthshore works to protect the ocean and fight climate change. Our goal is simple and clear: saving our ocean for our children thru Education Campaigns & Beach Cleaning Globally.
Why the Ocean Matters
The ocean helps keep Earth cool. It absorbs heat and helps control weather. It also provides food and water for millions of people.
But when beaches are dirty and the ocean is polluted, it cannot do its job. Plastic, waste, and chemicals make the ocean weaker. A weaker ocean means a hotter planet.
Earthshore believes that protecting the ocean helps protect life on Earth.
Children Are Being Hit the Hardest
Children are more sensitive to heat, pollution, and dirty water. They get sick faster and recover more slowly. Many children live in places where climate change is already affecting daily life.
Here are some important facts:
- 739 million children were exposed to high or extremely high water scarcity as of 2022
- 436 million children live in areas with high or extremely high water vulnerability
- Every region of the world, even rich countries, is facing water shortages—and climate change will make this much worse in the coming years
When water becomes scarce or unsafe, children suffer first. This is why saving our ocean for our children matters so much to Earthshore.
Beach Cleaning Is How Earthshore Takes Action
Some people think beach cleanups are small actions. Earthshore knows they make a big difference.
Beach cleaning helps by:
- Stopping plastic before it breaks into tiny harmful pieces
- Protecting fish, coral, and sea animals
- Keeping water cleaner and safer
- Helping the ocean stay strong so it can fight climate change
This is why the core of Earthshore is to mitigate climate change by beach cleaning. Clean beaches lead to healthier oceans, and healthier oceans help protect our planet.
The Global Earthshore Movement
The Global Earthshore Movement brings people together from around the world. Kids, parents, teachers, and volunteers all take part.
The Global Earthshore Movement shows that anyone can help. You do not need special tools. You do not need to be an expert. You just need to care.
Every beach cleanup is a lesson. Every clean shoreline is a step forward.
Helping Coastal Communities
Many families live near the ocean and depend on it for food and jobs. When the ocean is polluted, their lives become harder.
Earthshore works with local communities to clean beaches and protect their future. This protects today’s families and supports saving our ocean for our children.

Earthshore promises to:
- Clean and protect beaches
- Care for the ocean
