Kayak Clean Up - December 14th 2024

Miami Waterkeeper is proud to continue our partnership with Miami EcoAdventures to offer public volunteer kayak clean-up events! Volunteers will hit the water on kayaks to conduct a marine debris clean-up in our coastal and mangrove habitats. 

This event is free and registration includes a 2-hour kayak clean-up with kayak, paddles, PFDs, water, and a Miami Waterkeeper staff guide. Donations are greatly welcomed and can be made here: https://www.miamiwaterkeeper.org/donate_new

 

Volunteer Day Main Tasks:

  • Removal of marine debris from the water and surrounding mangrove habitats

This volunteer event may require heavy lifting and experience on a kayak, 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* 

Important Volunteer Information:

Please be on time, registration begins 30 minutes before the volunteer workday starts. Please arrive at 9am!

  • Please Bring:

    • Refillable water bottle. Stay hydrated and be prepared to work outside and on the water.

    • Closed-toe shoes are required and long-sleeved shirts are and long pants are recommended (clothes that can get wet).

    • A hat, sunblock, and insect repellent (recommended).

    • Gloves you feel comfortable wearing (otherwise Miami Waterkeeper will provide gloves).

    • The kayak clean-up is weather dependent and the event will be canceled with at least 24 hours notice if inclement weather is anticipated.

    • The kayak clean-up lasts 2 hours with an end time of around 11:30am. We will be launching from Crandon Marina on Key Biscayne.

We will have double kayaks so if you are RSVPing solo, please plan to be paired up with another volunteer.
