Clean Coast Initiative Foundation Launches Coast-to-Coast Campaign to Clean and Restore America’s Waterways
June 2025 — United States — The Clean Coast Initiative Foundation (CCIF) is spearheading a transformative national effort to clean up chemical and plastic pollution from the waters that define America’s landscapes and livelihoods. From Pacific beaches to Atlantic harbors, from Gulf marshes to the Great Lakes, CCIF is restoring the nation’s most vital aquatic ecosystems—powered not by politics, but by people.
With a presence in all 30 U.S. states that border major bodies of water—including oceans, gulfs, the Great Lakes, and significant freshwater rivers—CCIF blends science, community mobilization, and ecological restoration into a unified campaign for cleaner, healthier coasts.
“Our approach is unapologetically grassroots and science-first,” said Elise Jordan, Executive Director of the Clean Coast Initiative Foundation. “We don’t wait for permission to do what needs to be done. Every coastline, lake, and river deserves action now.”
States Included in the CCIF Initiative
CCIF is active in states touching major water bodies, including:
Atlantic Coast: ME, NH, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL
Gulf Coast: FL (Gulf side), AL, MS, LA, TX
Pacific Coast: CA, OR, WA, AK, HI
Great Lakes Region: MN, WI, IL, IN, MI, OH, PA, NY
These regions face escalating threats from plastic waste, oil-based runoff, industrial chemicals, and degraded habitats. CCIF operates with urgency and independence, supported by a national network of volunteers, scientists, and environmentally conscious partners.
Beyond the Shoreline: A Holistic Restoration Model
While beach cleanups remain a high-impact and visually symbolic aspect of CCIF’s mission, the organization has built a comprehensive ecological strategy to fight pollution and restore water health:
Oyster Reef Restoration – Along Gulf and Atlantic shores, CCIF teams rebuild natural oyster beds using sustainably sourced shell material and carefully cultivated oyster strains. These filter feeders clean the water and provide habitat for dozens of marine species.
Freshwater Mussel and Sponge Rehabilitation – In Great Lakes tributaries and key river systems, native mussels and sponges are being reintroduced to improve water clarity and nutrient balance. These quiet powerhouses are natural biofilters, often overlooked yet critical to ecosystem recovery.
Wetland Cleanup and Detox Zones – In coastal marshes and riverside floodplains, CCIF cleans up synthetic debris and reintroduces native vegetation. These areas naturally absorb toxins and provide flood resilience while serving as nurseries for fish and bird populations.
Urban Plastic Interception – The foundation installs netted debris catchers at stormwater exits in heavily polluted cities. Each unit removes thousands of pounds of floating waste before it can
reach open water.
All of this is documented through rigorous data tracking, enabling CCIF to analyze what pollutants are most common in each region and publish open-source environmental impact reports accessible to the public.
Powered by People, Not Politics CCIF’s mission is powered entirely by individuals, businesses, scientists, schools, and grassroots supporters who believe that environmental restoration shouldn’t wait for bureaucratic red tape or legislative consensus.
“Our model is built on action, not approval,” said Jordan. “We connect everyday citizens with direct, meaningful opportunities to restore the places they love—without depending on anyone else to do it for them.”
The foundation collaborates with universities, independent labs, local nonprofits, Indigenous communities, youth organizations, and coastal engineers, combining community knowledge with cutting-edge environmental science.
Regional Highlights
Pacific Northwest: In Puget Sound, CCIF teams recently completed the removal of hundreds of derelict crab pots and plastic debris, alongside the replanting of eelgrass critical to salmon and orca survival.
Great Lakes: In Ohio and Michigan, freshwater mussel restoration projects are now cleaning over 10 million gallons of water per day and supporting fish populations devastated by decades of chemical exposure.
Southeast Coast: In Georgia and South Carolina, CCIF volunteers are restoring oyster beds that were once wiped out by industrial runoff, now acting as natural breakwaters and biodiversity hubs.
Texas and Louisiana: Along the Gulf, CCIF crews are rebuilding barrier islands and reestablishing wetland buffers using recovered material and native plantings—protecting communities while filtering pollutants.
Real Change. Real People.
Volunteers are the heart of the Clean Coast Initiative. Whether you’re hauling trash off a beach, planting aquatic vegetation, monitoring sponge colonies, or collecting data on microplastics,
your time makes a direct impact.
Every CCIF initiative is designed to be transparent, measurable, and replicable—so that local heroes can take ownership of the health of their waterways and see the tangible difference they’re making.

Donate – 100% of contributions go toward restoration work and equipment
“Every sponge we plant, every oyster we reseed, every pound of plastic we remove—those are acts of defiance against apathy and pollution,” Jordan said. “We’re not just cleaning up the coast—we’re restoring hope, health, and resilience to every corner of the country.”

Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth Discussed at Open Dialogue within SPIEF-2025
Moscow, Russia – 20/06/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth”, based on the results of the Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre, opened the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum business program on June 18.
Recognised international experts from Russia, Cameroon, Spain, Azerbaijan, and Canada, as well as authors of the best essays from the Open Dialogue, participated in the discussion.
Speakers discussed the changing world order, Africa’s potential, and trends in the future economy, including demographic changes and the implementation of breakthrough technologies.
“This year, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place against turbulent world events. This includes the situation in the Middle East and trade wars. Much time will be devoted to this current agenda at the forum. We must not forget which long-term trends and challenges led to the current situation, which trends are basic and defining. It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and how to form a new platform for global growth. In which countries does this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” emphasised Maxim Oreshkin.
A speaker from Spain, Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, delivered a report on how the global majority of countries are changing reality.
“Today, most countries are not just participating in global processes – they are changing reality. We see how an increasingly flexible and multipolar world order is forming. World trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technological, while the international system is becoming a network of preferential agreements, which distorts the principles laid down in the foundation of GATT and WTO,” noted Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga.
One of the main discussion topics was: “Africa – driver of the future economic order.” Chairman of the African Advisory Council Francois Ndengwe noted that demographic growth is transforming Africa into the future cradle of the global workforce.
“This is not just statistics – this is human capital that can become a new driver of global growth. Those who invest in education today and build universities in Africa will tomorrow shape markets and set the game’s rules together with Africa,” said Francois Ndengwe.
Sergei Ivanov, Executive Director and Member of the EFKO Group board of Directors, spoke about the business’s new responsibility in the modern world. The expert emphasised that business today is not just a profit generator but an active participant in social transformations.
“What projects and technologies should we invest in today? Investment criteria are three conditions: qualitatively improving human life, being produced in harmony with nature, and being accessible, at a minimum, having mass potential. But what’s more important is not only what you produce, but also in what culture you do it. In 2012, the president spoke words that I’ve been quoting often lately. He said that the great mission of Russians is to unite, to bind civilisation with culture, language, and universal responsiveness. And so we try to build our culture and our ethics around this very universal responsiveness. To build capitalism with a human face,” said Sergei Ivanov.
Another session’s focus, “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth”, was on breakthrough technologies. As noted by Yuri Kozarenko, General Director of “Transport of the Future” LLC, today, automation has reached a level where robots create robots for the production of goods and services for humans.
“This year has become significant, showing a leap in the technological development of artificial intelligence. Several centres, schools, and institutes have been opened in China to train robots in various specialities. We in Russia, in turn, are opening robot training centres based in the Samara region and Moscow, including the Institute of Unmanned Systems. We teach robots to bring social benefit in an economically efficient way,” emphasised Yuri Kozarenko.
The expert added that technological innovations today directly affect social spheres, for example, helping to solve the demographic crisis.
During the session, participants also discussed the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” The conclusions of the session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” became the foundation for the subsequent business program of SPIEF-2025. The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” recording can be viewed on the Russia National Centre website.

Global Economic Shifts in Focus as Madrid Professor Addresses SPIEF 2025 Opening Session
Moscow, Russia – 20/06/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025, held in Russia from June 18 to 21, began with a high-level session titled *”Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth.”* The session marked the presentation of the final report from the International Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre and featured expert insights into global economic and geopolitical shifts. Among the key speakers was Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, who addressed the evolving role of the global majority in transforming international systems.
The session was dedicated to the current challenges of modernity: economic and political fragmentation, demographic changes, the consequences of breakthrough technology implementation, and social and technological gaps within and between countries.
A speaker from Spain, Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, delivered a report on how the global majority of countries are changing reality.
“Today, most countries are not just participating in global processes—they are changing reality. We see how an increasingly flexible and multipolar world order is forming. World trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technological, while the international system is becoming a network of preferential agreements, which distorts the principles laid down in the foundation of GATT and WTO,” noted Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga.
In his opinion, the world is becoming increasingly fragmented and unpredictable—this applies to politics and economics.
“The international trade architecture is breaking down into nodes and blocks, which requires new approaches. We must be able to respond to these challenges, understanding that the old rules no longer work in the new dynamics,” emphasised Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga.
“It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and form a new platform for global growth. In which countries will this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” noted Maxim Oreshkin.
At the session organised by the National Centre, speakers discussed, among other things, the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” Key issues included factors shaping the new economic wave, technologies driving economic development, and ways to achieve human well-being.
The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” results became the foundation for the subsequent business program of SPIEF-2025. The session recording can be viewed on the Russia National Centre website.
