Monthly Margaret Pace Cleanup
Join SeaKeepers for a coastal cleanup at Margaret Pace Park on Saturday, May 11, 2024! Weather permitting, we will cleanup the whole park including the grass and rocky shoreline. Margaret Pace Park borders Biscayne Bay, and by keeping this park clean we can prevent further pollution to our ocean. Please scroll down and RSVP to join.
In order to participate, all volunteers must complete the required Liability and Appearance Release Waiver HERE.

Marine Debris Tracker: By using the app Marine Debris Tracker, you can log the types of trash you collect and create important data for scientists and lawmakers to better understand the marine debris crisis. This data can lead to legislation such as plastic bans that will keep our ocean cleaner! Make sure to create an account ahead of time and select “The International SeaKeepers Society” as an organization before you start logging. By using the Marine Debris Tracker, you are eligible for extra community service hours.
For any inquiries or help registering, please contact [email protected].
We look forward to cleaning with you!
