Everyone has a role to play in solving our Marine Debris Problem, and that includes local, state, and federal governments.
VolunteerCleanup.Org has been heavily involved in our local governments – both elected officials and city staff. We would be happy to discuss the best practices and legislative changes we have made here in Miami Beach and other cities.
– Styrofoam Bans (sale and use)
– Establishing TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) for floatables and plastic debris
– Recycling ordinances
– Fine increases
– Landscaping ordinances (impacts storm drain clogging)
VolunteerCleanup.Org engages volunteers to cleanup their neighborhoods, shorelines, and waterways as a way to raise awareness about marine debris and encourage people to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics.
VolunteerCleanup.Org is a project of Miami Dade Coastal Cleanup, Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit registered with the IRS (EIN 42-1766017)
