Broward County participates in the annual International Coastal Cleanup, sponsored by the Ocean
Conservancy. The Cleanup takes place in over 104 countries around the world and typically on the 3rd Saturday of September.
The next event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, September 15, 2012, from 9 a.m. until noon. Please dress appropriately for the weather, either rain or shine, as we will only cancel the Cleanup due to a
tropical storm system resulting in a Watch or Warning.
Register!
