Join Key Biscayne Community Foundation’s Citizen Science Program, FillABag, Miami EcoAdventures, and Free Plastic for an impactful and unforgettable mangrove cleanup in the Bear Cut Preserve in Key Biscayne! This will be a guided tour into Biscayne Bay and the mangroves to remove marine debris from this vital and hard-to-reach habitat. This cleanup is particularly important as mangroves host many vulnerable species that live within these vital and diverse ecosystems, and the recent storms have likely added more debris to this area. There is also a walking portion for those who do not wish to be in the water; however, keep in mind this may be difficult as you will be climbing through the trees and there are no defined trails.
Our event is funded through a generous grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District. We will have water and snacks, plus some prizes to win after the clean up! For the water portion of the cleanup, you will need to bring or rent your own paddleboard/kayak, and life vest/personal floatation device.
