Join us for the 41st annual International Coastal Cleanup, the world’s largest one-day volunteer effort for our oceans and waterways. Show your commitment to reducing marine debris along with millions of volunteers from across the globe! Registration is required to participate in the cleanup. 

Date: Saturday, September 19

Time: 9 AM - 11 AM

The Environment & Sustainability Department and the Miami Beach Bandshell will be leading a cleanup site at 73 Street beach to help keep our marine habitats cleaner and healthier, protecting our vital local ecosystems from the impacts of pollution. This helps to ensure that future generations can enjoy the natural beauty of our beaches and the ocean. Garbage bags, gloves and data collection cards will be provided for all volunteers. The Miami Beach Bandshell will also raffle off two pairs of tickets to participating attendees.
