Events
Florida Coastal Cleanup
The Florida Coastal Cleanup, sponsored in Brevard County
by the Ocean Conservancy and Keep Brevard Beautiful, is held every September, on the
third
Saturday of the month.
This cleanup effort is the only event at which volunteers are urged
to record all of the items they collect. The Florida Coastal Cleanup
is part of a world-wide litter reduction effort. The data from the
event are used to educate our community about the problems associated
with marine debris and the role we play in solving those problems.
Keep Brevard Beautiful, Inc., the Ocean Conservancy and our sponsors
will supply trash bags, gloves, data cards, pencils. Volunteers should bring drinking water and a snack,
if desired. FREE T-Shirts while supplies last.
For more information, please email Jim Kriewaldt at jimkbb2005@yahoo.com.
