Legislation

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)
