Miami Waterkeeper Microplastic Marine Debris Cleanup

Miami Waterkeeper Microplastic Marine Debris Cleanup

Join Miami Waterkeeper for a Microplastic Clean-up at David Kennedy Park!

Microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic less than 5mm in size, pose a significant threat to marine life and coastal ecosystems. Not only will you get to roll up your sleeves and take action, but you'll also learn about the impacts of microplastics and why removing them from our environment is so crucial. So join us at David Kennedy Park and be part of the solution! Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier coastal environment free from the harmful effects of microplastic contamination. Stay tuned for what we plan to do with these microplastics!

Miami Waterkeeper focuses on clean water, ecosystem protection, and sea level rise resiliency. First, we tackle issues of clean water throughout the Biscayne Bay watershed, from the Everglades to our coral reefs. Second, we protect the ecosystems that depend on that clean water, including corals, seagrasses, and mangroves. Finally, we focus on sea level rise resiliency, which guides all areas of our work. We employ a multidisciplinary approach, which includes science, policy & advocacy, and education & outreach.
