Cleaning Our Shoreline Initiative returns for another season

The Cleaning Our Shoreline initiative resumes Monday, June 29, continuing the province’s work to keep Prince Edward Island’s coastal shoreline and waters healthy. 

Student crews have been hired Island-wide and are ready to remove debris and waste from PEI’s coasts.

“Our coastlines are at the heart of Island life, supporting our livelihoods, our communities, and the natural spaces we cherish,” said Minister of Fisheries, Rural Development and Tourism Ernie Hudson. “Healthy shores and coastal waters are vital for wildlife, tourism, and local industries. If you notice debris along a shoreline, please report it so it can be addressed quickly.”

The public can report debris online or call Contact PEI at 1-833-734-1873. Reporting helps crews prioritize cleanup work and keep our Island coastlines safe and beautiful.
