International Coastal Cleanup at Canaveral National Seashore
Saturday, Sept. 16
8am - 11am
On Saturday, September 16, Canaveral National Seashore invites the public to join the International Coastal Cleanup. Once a year all over the world, millions of volunteers, who love the ocean and want to protect it, take this day to really make a difference. Plastic is found in 62% of all sea birds and in 100% of sea turtle species. The park provides important habitat for both, so cleanup efforts at the Seashore are especially importance.
The park's event will be held from 8:00am until 11:00am. Enter the north entrance and meet at the Visitor Center, 7611 S. Atlantic Ave., New Smyrna Beach. The first 100 volunteers to arrive will receive a free tee-shirt. Following the cleanup, lunch will be provided. Bring water in a reusable container and refills will be provided. Also bring gloves and sun protection. On that morning, the park entrance fee will be waived for Cleanup volunteers.
For more information call the Visitor Center at 386-428-3384 ext. 0.
