The International Coastal Cleanup

The National Aquarium

The International Coastal Cleanup—the world’s largest single-day volunteer effort to remove trash from waterways, beaches, lakes and rivers—will be held on September 16.

As chief executive officer, John Racanelli leads a team of 600 full and part-time employees and 1,000 volunteers in pursuing the National Aquarium’s mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures. More than 1.5 million people annually visit the Aquarium’s venue in Baltimore, Maryland, while millions more are touched by the Aquarium’s education programs, outreach activities, social media campaigns and conservation initiatives.
