Participants cleaned up inland locations throughout the city as well as at Bayfront Park on the San Francisco Bay shoreline. The inland cleanup efforts were important because, according to the California Coastal Commission, "past Coastal Cleanup Day data tell us that most (between 60-80 percent) of the debris on our beaches and shorelines comes from inland sources, traveling through storm drains or creeks out to the beaches and ocean. Rain or even something as simple as hosing down a sidewalk can wash cigarette butts, bits of styrofoam, pesticides, and oil into the storm drains and out to the ocean." The California Coastal Cleanup Day (
