Core offering

Scotian Shores coordinates volunteer-led shoreline cleanup initiatives across Nova Scotia (Mi'kma'ki), removing marine debris from coastal areas. The organization funds its cleanup operations through sales of locally made upcycled products (jewelry, magnets, soap dishes, ornaments, rope-based home goods, art, and accessories) manufactured from materials collected during cleanups, along with donations and corporate sponsorships.

Product overview

Scotian Shores is a volunteer-led shoreline cleanup organization based in Nova Scotia, Canada, focused on cleaning shorelines, creating awareness of plastic pollution, and connecting community members to make a collective environmental impact. The organization operates a core shoreline cleanup program where volunteers remove marine debris from Nova Scotia coasts, with collaborative data showing over 1.8 million pounds of debris removed since August 2020. The product portfolio consists primarily of upcycled/ocean plastic products transformed from materials collected during cleanups, including soap dishes (Square, Hexagon, and standard) made from Nova Scotia ocean plastic manufactured by DS Plastics; seasonal ornaments; shell necklaces; seaglass boards; rope-based home goods (mats, flowers, wreaths, bowls, trivets, coasters); and various rope rescue art pieces. The jewelry category includes beach button earrings in multiple colors and sizes, rope stud earrings, and magnets featuring marine life shapes (crabs, starfish, turtles, lobsters, seals) and Nova Scotia symbols. Additional products include an art paper pack featuring textures from reclaimed rope and fishing gear, pens made from shoreline plastic, and a published book. All products are sold through the online shop to fund cleanup initiatives, equipment purchases, and awareness projects.
