🌊✨ We’re back for International Coastal Cleanup 2026! ✨🌊

Join us on Saturday, September 19th at Vilano Beach as we roll up our sleeves, soak up the sun, and make a real difference together. 💙

Every piece of trash we collect helps protect marine life, keeps our beaches beautiful, and makes our community stronger. Plus—it’s always a good time hanging out with awesome people who care about the ocean as much as you do! 🌴♻️🐚

Many call the 5th of July “The Filth of July” because of all the trash and debris leftover from a day of celebration. As you go out and celebrate today, be sure to secure your trash, especially around our waterways. Whether you are on a boat, boat ramp, or beaches, take a bucket with a lid with you or a trash bag and secure your trash.
If you’d like to participate in a beach cleanup, here’s a great opportunity to help combat the debris.

We hope you have a happy and safe Independence Day!

**TIME UPDATE** Come join us on Sunday, July 5 from 7-9 a.m. at Mickler's Landing for a post-Independence Day beach clean-up to help save sea turtles! We're bringing all the equipment - all we need is YOU! This is an update time to accommodate easier parking and avoid the heat

While there, we'll also have a sea turtle outreach table talking about all the cool work we do and additional ways you can help protect sea turtles. 🐢

Our friends at Beaches Sea Turtle Patrol are also planning beach clean-ups at Atlantic Boulevard and Beach Boulevard in Duval County if those locations are a bit closer to you 😁

We can't wait to see you!
