'Suits On The Sand' Aims To Keep Venice Beach Pollution-Free

VENICE, CA — Several miles of Venice Beach will be teeming with volunteers who aim to keep Los Angeles beaches safe, healthy and pollution-free in honor of Heal The Bay's Suits on the Sand program.

Volunteer groups will have the unique opportunity to explore marine pollution with a Heal The Bay educator and be a part of the solution by participating in a beach cleanup. For the second year, the marketing company Elev8 New Media is supporting the Venice event to promote environmental preservation.

"We are honored to rejoin forces with Heal the Bay in our collective mission to diminish plastic waste and cleanse our cherished local beach. It's a continued effort that underscores Elev8’s long-term dedication to this cause," said Jessica Starman, Co-Founder and CEO of Elev8 New Media.

During the day on Aug. 11, groups will participate in interactive team-building activities and a healthy dose of friendly competition, organizers said.

Cleanup activities will be carried out along several miles of the Venice Beach coastline benefitting the natural area and local inhabitants.

"We hope our sustained action will inspire other communities to undertake similar endeavors, magnifying the positive impact on coastal regions worldwide," Starman said.
