Oceanic Global and Corona are on a mission to clean up 100 beaches and remove 1 million pounds of plastic waste by 2025. Since 2021, Oceanic Global (“the Guiding Partner”) has partnered with Corona USA to host a nationwide series of volunteer Community Cleanups across the country as part of the ‘Protect Our Beaches’ program. Each year the program includes a series of Community Cleanups which are supported by mission-aligned local NGO partners.

Oceanic Global reminds us of humanity’s original role in earth’s broader ecosystems and guides us in restoring equilibrium to our blue planet. Our core pillars of focus are designed to deepen humanity’s connection to the ocean as the lifeblood of the earth, provide tangible solutions for resilience, and create a blueprint for coexisting in harmony with our natural world. The 501(c)(3) non-profit sheds light on humanity’s essential relationship to the ocean and empowers individuals, communities, and industries to create positive change for our collective wellbeing.
