ICC2023 at Haulover Park with Carnival FUN Team
Join us for the world’s largest, one-day volunteer effort for our oceans and waterways, and show your commitment to reducing marine debris, along with millions of volunteers from across the globe! Spearheaded globally by the Ocean Conservancy, VolunteerCleanup.org organizes Miami-Dade’s local participation in this annual event with 50+ simultaneous shoreline cleanups around the county and is made possible by the generous support of our presenting sponsors Covanta and Boucher Brothers, with additional support from Blackstone Charitable Foundation, The Brady Hunter Foundation, Benjamin & Gloria Joannou, Jr. Family Conservation Fund, City of Miami Beach, The Miami Foundation, Loud And Live, and Miami-Dade County RER-DERM We will provide garbage bags, gloves, data collection cards, and a souvenir tote bag with this year’s marine animal theme, a Seahorse. *Community Service hours also provided*
- Download the Ocean Conservancy’s CleanSwell app to participate in the Citizen Science activity to log, tally and measure the impact of your cleanup. It is easier and more fun than using paper data cards!
- Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear. This is a Coastal Park & Beach site, and you should wear appropriate footwear (water shoes or sneakers) that you are comfortable walking on sand in. No flipflops or sandals!
- Sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, umbrella, and Mosquito Repellent are recommended.
- If you have your own reusable working or gardening type gloves, bring them. We will be providing gloves but cannot guarantee they will be in your size.
- Recommend bringing trash pickers for easier pick up.
- Some volunteers like to use a bucket during cleanup. Ask your local Chinese, Burger, or Bakery/Donut shop if they get food service items in 5-gallon buckets that they would like to donate for use during your cleanup!
- Please bring water in a reusable container. Let’s reduce waste and refuse single-use disposable plastic water bottles.

Organizer
The “Friends Uniting Neighbors” (FUN) Team was established by Carnival Foundation in 1997 as a grass-roots organization designed to go a step beyond traditional volunteer service initiatives. The program provides team members opportunities to venture out into the community and offer hands-on help where it is needed most.
