Frost Science MUVE at East Greynolds Park | International Coastal Cleanup 2022

Join us for the world's largest, one-day volunteer effort for our oceans and waterways, and show your commitment to reducing marine debris, along with millions of volunteers from across the globe!

Spearheaded globally by the Ocean Conservancy, VolunteerCleanup.org organizes Miami-Dade County’s local participation in this annual event with 45+ simultaneous shoreline cleanups around the county and is made possible by the generous support of our presenting sponsors Covanta and Rickenbacker Marina, with additional support from Blackstone Charitable Foundation, Verizon, Miami-Dade County RER-DERM, Pubbelly Sushi, and Greenberg Traurig.

We will provide garbage bags, gloves, data collection cards, and a souvenir tote bag with this year’s marine animal theme, the Hermit Crab.  *Community Service hours also provided*  

Registration is required to participate. Please have each volunteer RSVP individually.

This year's shirts are available for purchase here! 

Details for this site:

• Parking available on site. Do not pay for parking – meet at check-in for your free parking pass
• Check-in will be at the shelter next to the parking lot
• This event is suitable for all ages
• Please wear closed-toed shoes, bring sun and bug protection, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.

Info for Volunteers:

• A paper waiver for Miami-Dade County Parks will be provided on the day of the event. ** However, if you are under 18 and coming without a parent or guardian, you must have a parent/guardian print and sign the waiver HERE in advance, and bring it with you to the cleanup.

• Download the Ocean Conservancy’s CleanSwell app to participate in the Citizen Science activity to log, tally and measure the impact of your cleanup.  It is easier and more fun than using the paper data cards!

• Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear. This is an intertidal mangrove site, and you should wear closed-toed shoes to potentially get mucky. Please no flipflops or sandals.
• Sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, and bur spray are recommended
• If you have your own reusable working or gardening type gloves, bring them. We will be providing gloves but cannot guarantee they will be in your size.
• Please bring water in a reusable container. Let’s reduce waste and refuse single-use disposable plastic water bottles.
• Some volunteers like to use a bucket during a cleanup. Ask your local café or food shop if they get food service items in 5-gallon buckets that they would like to donate for use during your cleanup!
