International Coastal Cleanup at South Skyway

Tampa Bay Watch is recruiting volunteers for the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) at the South Skyway. Ocean Conservancy's ICC has become a beacon of hope, leading and inspiring action in support of our ocean. Since its beginning, more than 19 million volunteers have collected more than 400 million pounds of trash!

The meeting location is next to the road leading up to the fishing pier (map will be distributed to registered volunteers). The exit sign says, "South Skyway Fishing Pier" and parking is located in the dirt lot along the road to the fishing pier. Restrooms are available at the rest area building.

Our cleanup efforts will focus along the shorelines, so you should wear clothing and closed toe shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and bug spray. We'll have non-latex gloves on hand but bring garden gloves if you prefer. We will provide trash bags and pickers for participants. The event is family friendly and open to all ages. Minor liability waivers are required for all participants under the age of eighteen.
