Sea Hugger is a small nonprofit based in Half Moon Bay, California, focused on safeguarding and restoring the marine environment from plastic pollution. It advances practical action and public education aimed at addressing the root causes of plastic waste, seeking systemic change rather than short-term fixes. The organization’s mission emphasizes reducing plastic dependency, protecting aquatic life, and supporting sustainable coastal communities that are less affected by plastic pollution.

The group has earned recognitions including the 2020 Green Business Award from the Half Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce and is listed as a Top-Rated Nonprofit by Great Nonprofits; it is also affiliated with 1% For The Planet Environmental Partners and holds a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar. A notable development is the introduction of the Nurdle trommel, a device intended to skim the top layer of beach sand to remove microplastics, reflecting a focus on practical, on-the-ground solutions. Sea Hugger has also pursued partnerships with external organizations, such as Calgee and Albatross Designs, to advance its plastic pollution reduction efforts.
