Each year, community members and organizations like
Keep Pinellas Beautiful, work with local governments to identify area that are inundated with marine debris.

Come join us for this Waterway and Mangrove island cleanup in Pinellas Park! You can bring your own canoe/kayak or borrow a canoe from us (assigned morning of event, first come first serve). We'll provide all the cleanup materials you'll need.

There will be lunch provided afterward, along with a raffle drawing for prizes! So come, help the environment, stay for lunch, meet some new friends, and maybe win some awesome prizes from our incredible sponsors!

Please Note, this is an 18+ event.

Participants must wear a closed- toe wading shoe (old tennis shoes, keens, scuba booties). Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, cover up) and insect repellent is highly recommended. All participants must abide by the safety policies and recommendations of Pinellas County Staff.
