ABOUT US

Hi there! We’re Ryan Wong and Randy Hughes, lifelong Santa Barbara natives with a passion for boating and fishing.

 

    Our story began on a return trip from Santa Cruz Island when we witnessed something that shook us—a boat heading back to the mainland tossed three full bags of trash straight into the ocean. We couldn’t just stand by, so we picked up those bags ourselves. That moment made us realize that the ocean needs someone to stand up for it because it can’t protect itself. We knew we had to be part of the solution.

 

    And that’s how Tidy Seas was born. Our mission is to raise awareness and encourage everyone to pick up after themselves—and, when needed, to help clean up after others, too. We’re dedicated to protecting our oceans, one piece of trash at a time.

​

We would love to have you join the Tidy Team and become part of the solution together.
