International Coastal Cleanup: Julia Tuttle Causeway
This event has passed.
Volunteers gather on the Julia Tuttle Causeway for a cleanup that tackles debris along one of Miami’s busiest waterfront corridors.
International Coastal Cleanup: Julia Tuttle Causeway takes place Saturday, September 20 as part of Miami-Dade County’s International Coastal Cleanup 2025. Organized by Clean Miami Beach with countywide coordination by VolunteerCleanup.org, the event marks the 40th anniversary of the global initiative that has mobilized millions of people to protect oceans and waterways. Participants will help remove trash from the causeway while contributing data to the Ocean Conservancy’s Clean Swell app, supporting international research on marine debris.
Volunteers should bring closed-toed shoes, water in a reusable bottle and sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses and lightweight clothing. Gloves, garbage bags, buckets, pickers and water refills will be provided. The meeting point is eastbound on I-195, leaving Miami mainland toward Miami Beach. Look for the turtle flag. Parking will be available inside the guard rail on the grass area, with carpooling or rideshare strongly encouraged due to limited space.
This cleanup is one of more than 65 sites across Miami-Dade County contributing to the worldwide International Coastal Cleanup, now in its 40th year.
