Every cleanup event engages people to remove trash from shorelines, identifying the sources of debris and helping change behaviors.
No matter where you live—whether on the coast or thousands of miles away—all waterways lead to the ocean. If we take action and work together, we can improve the health of the Indian River Lagoon and make trash-free seas a reality.
