To mark International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 19th, Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics is introducing a limited-edition bracelet crafted from salvaged fishing nets. The bracelets not only help to clean up the ocean itself but aid in supporting the CoastSavers organization, which leads dozens of beach clean-ups multiple times a year across the Pacific Northwest.
Each special Coastal Clean-Up Relief bracelet represent a pound of commercial fishing nets and line being removed from the oceans, bringing awareness to a material that's said to make up almost half of the debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch according to the World Wildlife Fund.
The colorful $20 bracelets are exclusively available in September and help to support the lives of fish, sea turtles, seabirds and more.
