Join Miami EcoAdventures & local non-profit Debris Free Oceans for our monthly Citizen Science Project Activity, hosted at Crandon Park every 2nd Saturday. Citizen Science is a way for the general public to be directly involved in the process of scientific data collection and to be engaged in scientific thinking. The goal of this activity is to have volunteers become amateur scientists while working with a group of professional scientists to collect critical data on marine debris in our local environment.

Responsibilities and Duties:

  • Cleaning up the beach
  • Sorting marine debris collected
  • Gathering and recording data

Qualifications: Volunteers under 13 must participate with a parent/guardian present. Please bring a refillable water bottle, closed-toed shoes, and protection from the sun (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses).

Commitment Expected: Please arrive at your scheduled start time and we recommend staying for the duration of the activity. Community service hours will be provided via email following the event.
