MUVE is excited to provide opportunities for our community to give back to critical coastal habitats through nature-based stewardship. On Saturday, October 15, 2022, MUVE and Miami Waterkeeper will host small groups of volunteers to enhance native beach dune habitat and do a citizen science-based coastal cleanup. We recommend close-toed shoes, sun and bug protection, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty! All materials, water, and snacks will be provided. We encourage you to bring your own reusable gloves, reusable water bottle, and download the free CleanSwell app on your smartphone to collect marine debris data during the beach cleanup.
9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Registration is full) If you would like to register for our waitlist, please email muve@frostscience.org.
We will be in touch on Friday morning, October 14, to confirm your participation, share event details, and offer opportunity to our waitlist.
