Community Science Plastic Pellet (Nurdle) Cleanup
July 25 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am


Join us at Rotary Park in Carlsbad for a community science plastic pellet (nurdle) cleanup.
Plastic pellets are the building blocks of the plastic supply chain, making so many of the products we use in our daily lives — everything from milk jugs to plastic bags. Unfortunately, they are also entering our environment at staggering rates, with more than 10 trillion plastic pellets entering our oceans annually.
We are planning to continually monitor this site and collect data to address and quantify plastic pellet pollution in our communities and treasured waterways. The California coast has seen plastic pellet pollution in recent years, and the data collected through pellet counts paves the way for lasting change.
All necessary materials will be provided, so you only have to bring yourself!
