“One body. One can. One shore at a time.”
From the founder
I went to Bimini looking for an escape a pause from the chaos of everyday life.
What I found was more than just quiet shores and turquoise waters.
I found people whose kindness runs as deep as the ocean that surrounds them. Humble. generous, welcoming the people of Bimini opened their hearts without asking for anything in return.
But as I walked the beaches and strolled through the island’s narrow streets, I saw
something I couldn’t unsee: trash. Some of it had drifted in from the sea. Some came from locals. But most of it was left behind by visitors. And it hurt because this island, this paradise, deserves better.
Bimini is breathtaking. Its beauty, its rhythm, its people they change you. And when a place changes you, you owe it something in return.
That’s why I started She Saves the Shore.
We begin here, but we won’t stop here. This is about more than cleanup it’s about respect. If we are lucky enough to visit a place, we should leave it better than we found it.
We’re placing branded photo-op trash bins at the cruise port, along the beaches, and in the local town turning cleanups into a community movement. We’ll give reusable She Saves the Shore bags to marinas, fishermen, and locals, so picking up litter becomes second nature. Well fuel this mission through Aloha Zen products, giving a portion of every sale back to shoreline restoration.
This is a love letter to the islands.
Our answer to their call for help.
Our promise to the places that heal us to never leave them behind.
