Oceans are Earth’s lifeline, producing over 50% of Earth’s oxygen and storing 50 times more carbon than our atmosphere. The ocean and its coastlines represent ~61% of the world’s GDP.Beaches cover a third of the world’s coastline, connecting us to the ocean. Beach communities rely on ocean health every day to keep their economies thriving.Protecting our beaches is essential to conserving our ocean ecosystems. Keeping our beaches litter-free, limiting the stormwater runoff entering waterways, and utilizing nature for storm protection are just three of many direct impacts we can have on our oceans when we protect our shores!A massive shoutout to Ted Kingston for providing the beautiful imagery that helps us showcase exactly what we are working to protect.#WorldOceanDay #YEStoBeaches #AmericanCoastalCoalition ...

Beach and dune systems support... --> Carbon Sequestration: Sand and dune grass roots naturally trap and bury carbon --> Nesting sites: For shorebirds, turtles, & other endangered or endemic species --> Habitat for Small Invertebrates: Sand crabs, clams, beetles, & even microscopic invertebrates live in the sand beneath our feet, depositing nutrients into the ecosystem and fueling other animals --> Natural Water Filtration: Sand, roots, and microorganisms filter water, break down pollutants, and reduce bacteria levels to improve water quality --> The connection between land and sea: intertidal zones connect nutrient transfer, support species who need both land and sea, & provide humans with access to the ocean!Support our beaches to support the environment.
