Earth Day 2023 "Wade-in" Clean up- April 22nd 2023 (FULL)

Miami Waterkeeper is proud to co-host a 2023 Earth Day "Wade-In" Clean-up with BLUE Missions and Repair the World at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park!  

Volunteer Day Main Tasks:

• Wading into the water to remove marine debris 

We will be conducting a wade-in marine debris clean-up where volunteers will wade-in to the water (to their comfort level) to collect marine debris from the water. This volunteer event may require heavy lifting hence teenagers and older groups are recommended. If younger age groups participate, they should be monitored at all times by the designated guardian, parents, etc. *Community Service hours also provided*
