International Coastal Cleanup at Clarington Island

International Coastal Cleanup at Clarington Island

Work in Join Coconut Grove Saling Club and the Woman's Club of Coconut Grove for a welcoming, hands-on conservation event as part of the 2026 International Coastal Cleanup.

Volunteers will meet at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club on the ground floor before traveling by boat to Island E, also known as Clarington Island, to remove marine debris from this unique Biscayne Bay habitat. Volunteers who remain on shore will help clean Kenneth M. Myers Bayside Park next to the sailing club.

This cleanup supports the global International Coastal Cleanup effort coordinated by Ocean Conservancy, with VolunteerCleanup.org serving as the local ICC partner. By participating, volunteers will help protect Biscayne Bay, support healthier coastal and coral ecosystems, and contribute to a broader community effort to understand and reduce marine debris.

T-shirts with this year’s marine animal theme, the Humpback whale, are available for purchase.  

The Miami-Dade ICC is made possible by the generous support of our strategic level sponsors Ocaquatics, City of Miami Commissioner Damian Pardo, and Terra Group, with additional support from Climate First Bank, City of Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins, and PADL.

Boat launch transportation is provided at the beginning and ending of the cleanup.  An additional land-based cleanup will be available at Kenneth M. Myers Bayside Park for late arrivals, and participants who prefer to remain on shore.
