Saturday was a good day for Boca Chica Beach.
985 volunteers came out for International Coastal Cleanup Day and removed 2,880 lbs of trash from our shoreline.
Thank you to @SpaceX, @TXAdoptABeach, and Cameron County, and to every friend, family member, and neighbor who came out to volunteer.
This is what community looks like. See you at the next one!

Boca Chica Beach is one of Starbase’s greatest assets, and we take our responsibility to protect it seriously. Last month, 12.1 tons of debris left by visitors were removed from the shoreline, including four car tires and a 5,000-gallon water tank.
We are proud that the beach is cleaner than it was before we arrived, and regular grading at the entrance helps keep it that way by giving visitors safe access while keeping vehicles off the dunes.

Road and area closures begin at 10:15 AM today for a Booster 21 engine test. The test is expected between noon and 1 PM.
You may hear a low rumbling and feel some vibration for a few minutes at most. That is normal and expected. The test is controlled and safe for the public.
Please stay clear of closed areas until testing is complete.
Thank you.

7+ miles of shoreline cleared. Over 12 days, crews hauled off 17 tons of plastic bottles, old tires, and other debris. That's about the weight of three adult elephants.
Thank you to our partners at Gulf Coast Contractors, our neighbors in Cameron County, and @SeaTurtleInc for keeping our coast clean.

The City of Starbase does not support the name change from ‘Boca Chica Beach.’ We think that the current beach name is appropriate.
What a way to celebrate America!

Happy 1st Birthday, Starbase.
One year ago today, Starbase officially became a city. In that time, we’ve hosted multiple Starship flight tests, grown our community of people building the future of spaceflight, and worked to protect our beaches and natural resources for generations to come.
Next year will be even bigger. More launches. More progress. And we’re just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Starbase’s first year as a city.
