Gulf of Alaksa Keepers

Born in Alaska, driven by action — Gulf of Alaska Keeper is restoring wild coastlines one cleanup at a time.

What began in 2002 as a small group of Alaskans caring for their coast has grown into Gulf of Alaska Keeper — the continent’s largest ongoing marine debris cleanup organization. Since 2006, GoAK has removed more than 4 million pounds of toxic plastic from 1,500 miles of some of the most remote and vital coastline on Earth.

Project Driven

Gulf of Alaska Keeper is a project-driven conservation organization leading sustained marine debris removal and coastal restoration efforts across Prince William Sound and the northern Gulf of Alaska. Through strategically planned field operations, GoAK restores critical habitats, protects marine wildlife, and delivers long-term environmental impact in some of Alaska’s most remote and vulnerable coastal regions.
