Family, friends, co-workers, and associates are invited to join eco-conscious Coasties in our on-going efforts to protect and preserve our oceans and waterways during the 38th annual International Coastal Cleanup Day. 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 sponsor 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. Join us for the world’s largest, one-day volunteer effort, and show your commitment to reducing marine debris, along with millions of volunteers from across the globe!
