JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 The city of Jacksonville\u2019s Keep Jacksonville Beautiful invites residents to participate in the 2026 International Coastal Cleanup event on Saturday at sites across the city. <\/p>\n
The event will provide volunteers with an opportunity to help beautify the city\u2019s shorelines. Advance registration is not required. Site captains will register volunteers and provide bags and gloves.<\/p>\n
Participants must be over 18 or accompanied by an adult. Service hour certificates will be provided for students.<\/p>\n
The regional effort is a part of the annual ICC, the world\u2019s largest volunteer effort to help protect the world\u2019s oceans, lakes and rivers. <\/p>\n
Each year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers from around the world spend a few hours removing trash and debris from beaches, lakes, and rivers, keeping track of every piece of trash they find. <\/p>\n
Ocean Conservancy uses that information to produce an annual snapshot of the marine debris problem. <\/p>\n
Keep Jacksonville Beautiful will help Jacksonville volunteers clean and protect the environment by eliminating debris that injures wildlife, contaminates beaches, waterways, and threatens boater safety.<\/p>\n
