Get ready to join millions of volunteers around the globe for the Ocean Conservancy’s 38th annual International Coastal Cleanup – the world’s LARGEST one-day volunteer effort for our oceans and waterways.

All volunteers will get a reusable tote bag with this year's animal theme, the Seahorse! We will have contests for those who find the strangest thing, and as always, community service hours will be provided.

Volunteercleanup.org and Miami Waterkeeper will provide all the supplies required for the event but please remember to wear closed toed-shoes, bring a reusable water bottle and appropriate sun protection! This event is suitable for all ages, however, anyone under the age of 14 will need to be accompanied by an adult. Community Service hours are also provided.
