Help Clean Up Santa Barbara’s Coast This Saturday

People are invited to hunt for garbage on Santa Barbara County beaches, parks, and creeks this Saturday, September 20, for the annual Coastal Cleanup Day.

Nine-year-old Bodhi Crawford and his mom, Karissa Otero, will be captains at Jalama Beach in Lompoc, one of the 34 cleanup sites scattered across the county.

It's the mom-and-son team’s second year captaining. Last year, volunteers collected 55 pounds of trash from Jalama.
