Are you a sea glass or shark tooth collector!?

When you’re strolling along our precious island a glint of sea glass can feel like finding a tiny ocean gem. But here’s the thing: if it hasn’t had enough time to tumble around in the waves, that “gem” might still have some sharp edges—making it more of a hazard than a treasure.

If you spot a piece that’s more “ouch” than “ooh,” consider helping it along its journey by tossing it the trash/recycling or taking it home for some DIY tumbling! After all, every dazzling piece of sea glass started as just another bottle, proving that even the roughest edges can be smoothed out with a little patience (and some good waves).

Noticed this rad chick at our cleanups over the summer?! has joined the team as our Conservation and Education Specialist. She super stoked on conservation and has LOTS of experience in sustainability.

“I’m a Conservation and Education Specialist with over 10 years of experience working to protect and preserve our planet’s wildlife. My career has spanned a variety of roles, from serving as a naturalist and crew member for the Pacific Whale Foundation, where I had the privilege of working alongside humpback whales, to serving as a stranding biologist, rescuing and rehabilitating sea turtles and marine mammals. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work with Disney’s Animal, Science, and Environment team, where I helped create impactful educational programs and conservation initiatives.
My passion lies in connecting our community to our natural environments and inspiring action to protect the Earth. Whether it’s through hands-on conservation efforts or educational outreach, I believe that when people understand the beauty and importance of the natural world, they are more motivated to safeguard it for future generations.
In my free time, I enjoy scuba diving, often in search of megalodon teeth, and I split my time between Topsail Island and Costa Rica, immersing myself in the diverse wildlife of both locations. I am committed to making a difference, one project and one connection at a time.”

We’ll pick back up our cleans after the holidays! Be sure to give a big ole 🤙🏼 to Sadie when you see her 🪣
