SeaKeepers x Cushman Community Cleanup

SeaKeepers is partnering with the Cushman Schools community for a coastal cleanup at Margaret Pace Park on Saturday, November 15, from 9 am-11 am. Weather permitting, we will clean the whole park, including the grass, rocky shoreline, and surrounding streets. This park is located right on the edge of Biscayne Bay, where trash can enter the water, endangering local marine life. Read the following details carefully and scroll down to RSVP!

The International SeaKeepers Society supports marine science and conservation by utilizing privately owned yachts as platforms for oceanographic research, educational outreach, and marine conservation. Our efforts eliminate vessel costs and permit scientists to allocate those funds to maximize research potential. SeaKeepers shares its mission of ocean research and conservation with local communities through educational events, beach cleanups, and yachting industry functions.
