International Coastal Cleanup Miami 2025 – José Martí Park with the Office of Commissioner Eileen Higgins
Join us for the 40th anniversary of the International Coastal Cleanup! Be part of the world’s largest, one-day volunteer effort for our oceans and waterways, and show your commitment to reducing marine debris, along with millions of volunteers from across the globe! 🌎💙
Did you know approximately 80% of marine debris comes from land based sources? That’s why we’re cleaning José Martí Park during this year’s International Coastal Cleanup to keep debris out of storm drains and the Miami River before it ever reaches the ocean. Here in Miami-Dade, VolunteerCleanup.org is organizing more than 65 cleanups sites with over 4,000 volunteers. This year also marks the launch of Trashathon, a new fundraising concept where the community can make per-pound pledges to support the organizations leading cleanups. Click here to make your pledge or share the link to support the cause! This year’s t-shirt and rash guard are available for purchase. Order before August 30 if you want to guarantee your shirt arrives before the cleanup.
We will provide all the supplies you need for the cleanup activity, including buckets, garbage bags, gloves, data collection cards, pickers, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, bug spray, and water refills. Community Service hours are also provided! ✅ Registration is required to participate in the cleanup.
Thank you to the International Coastal Cleanup Miami 2025 funding partners and this year’s inaugural Trashathon sponsors who are making per-pound pledges to support this high-impact annual event: The Miami Foundation, Blackstone Charitable Foundation, Biscayne Bay Recovery Fund, Miami Beach Cupid Splash, Benjamin & Gloria Joannou, Jr. Family Conservation Fund, Miami-Dade County DERM, Waste Connections.
