South Beach 10th-16th Street | International Coastal Cleanup Day

We will have a table set up on the boardwalk behind the public bathroom/beach access area on the corner of 14th Street and Ocean Drive.

*Parking can be difficult in this area of South Beach, but there is a Citi Bike/Deco Bike station right there, so feel free to find a parking garage near another bike station and ride a bike over!

What you will want to bring:

• Wear sandals or any shoes you would normally wear in the sand and comfortable clothes

• Sunscreen, sunglasses and hat are highly recommended

• Bring gloves (we suggest reusable working, gardening or dish gloves that you can pick up at the grocery store / home depot)

• Bring Water in a reusable container. Let’s reduce our plastic waste and reuse single-use disposable plastic water bottles, when possible!

• Snacks

• Bathing suit and towel if you want to take a dip in our beautiful ocean after all that work :)

• *International Coastal Cleanup will provide garbage bags, data collection cards, and a giveaway goodie bag

What you get to be a part of:

• In 2015, more than 18 million pounds of trash was collected by nearly 800,000 volunteers during the International Coastal Cleanup.

• Here in Miami Dade, we collected 17,500 pounds of marine debris from 31 miles of coastline.

• By volunteering at ICC, you will be actively participating in a global citizen science project, not only by removing marine debris, but by cataloguing and tallying what you find using the Ocean Conservancy’s data collection cards or Clean Swell App. The resulting item-by-item, location-by-location Ocean Trash Index that Ocean Conservancy compiles each year provides the only global snapshot of the marine debris littering coasts and waterways around the world. We need your help to keep this momentum going!

Prior to Cleanup Day: 

• Everyone that participates should register online. (even if you are coming together) We must have your name on the RSVP list as an individual (or your parent)  in order for you to get the giveaway goodie bag. 

• Volunteers must check in and sign waivers before any materials (bags, cards, or gift bags can be distributed) **If you are under 18 and coming without a parent or guardian, you must have a parent/guardian sign the waiver below in advance. https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/cleanup/pages/310/attachments/original/1469817777/MDCC_Cleanup_Release_Waiver.pdf?1469817777
