Removal of marine debris from the water and surrounding mangrove habitats.

We will be conducting a shore-based marine debris clean-up as well as several vessels transporting volunteers to and from the nearby island to remove marine debris. This volunteer event may require heavy lifting hence teenagers and older groups are recommended. If younger age groups participate, they should be monitored at all times by the designated guardian, parents, etc. *Community Service hours also provided*

Important Volunteer Information:

Please be on time, registration begins 30 minutes before the volunteer workday starts. Volunteers must arrive at 8:30am.

Please bring:

  • Refillable water bottle. Stay hydrated and be prepared to work outside and on the water.
  • Closed-toe shoes are required and long-sleeved shirts and long pants are recommended (clothes that can get wet).
  • A hat, sunblock, and insect repellent (recommended).
  • Gloves and trash grabbers (if you have them - otherwise Miami Waterkeeper will provide all supplies).
  • The clean-up is weather dependent and the event will be canceled with at least 24 hours notice if inclement weather is anticipated.
