Miami Dade Coastal CleanupThe 2009 Miami-Dade Coastal Cleanup will take place on Saturday, September 19th, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (it is recommended that participants arrive at their designated cleanup site at 8:30 a.m.)
This regional effort is part of the 24th Annual International Coastal Cleanup sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy and supported locally by business and environmentally conscious organizations.
Worldwide, thousands of volunteers will spend their morning collecting millions of pounds of litter and debris on inland roadsides, coastal areas, inland lakes and rivers. Volunteers will assist in this effort to clean and protect the environment by eliminating debris that injures wildlife, contaminates our beaches and waterways, and threatens boater safety in Miami-Dade County. Local volunteers are needed to join this effort.
After the Cleanup all volunteers are invited to the Volunteer Appreciation Party at the Miami Seaquarium.
