The bracelets not only help to clean up the ocean itself but aid in supporting the CoastSavers organization, which leads dozens of beach clean-ups multiple times a year across the Pacific Northwest. Each special Coastal Clean-Up Relief bracelet represent a pound of commercial fishing nets and line being removed from the oceans, bringing awareness to a material that's said to make up almost half of the debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch according to the [World Wildlife Fund](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-kseberga). The colorful $20 bracelets are exclusively available in September and help to support the lives of fish, sea turtles, seabirds and more.
