Haulover Park Coastal Cleanup (1st Saturday)

STCP is committed to protecting our coastal and ocean ecosystems year-round, and educating the public on best conservation practices. Join STCP team members at our monthly coastal cleanups to learn more about the endangered sea turtle species that utilize our local ecosystems.
