International Coastal Cleanup Day

Join MAR, the city of Madeira Beach, and the Ocean Conservancy on Saturday, September 19 for the 2026 International Coastal Cleanup Day at Archibald Beach Park.

Start the morning fueled up with food and drinks from Edibowl Meal Prep and Gateway Subs; and while you're here, register early for a shot at winning a Gateway Subs gift card!

Alongside volunteers around the world, we'll comb Madeira Beach for trash and marine debris, logging everything we find for the Ocean Conservancy's global ICC dataset. All data collected is used by researchers and policymakers to track ocean pollution; even that stray bottle cap you pick up actually means something.

Only 40 spots available - this one tends to fill up fast, so grab yours now!

Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Gateway Subs, Edibowl Meal Prep and Green Polly.
