INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP
September 19, 2015
Site Coordinator Registration Form
The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is a global initiative led by The Ocean Conservancy. This
cleanup event has taken place across the globe for the past 30 years. Last year, 684,015
volunteers joined the cleanup effort; nearly 2,000 in Lee County! This cleanup event is
scheduled for Saturday, September 19th, 2015.
The Coastal Cleanup is the only cleanup where trash is collected and recorded. The data cards
are then sent to the Ocean Conservancy where the information is used in the development of
new environmental protection acts and change the behaviors that cause marine debris in the
first place. The data cards are designed to have groups of 4 working together, 3 to collect litter
and debris and 1 to record the findings. Latex gloves will be provided, however some of the
marine debris will be rough so please feel free to bring work gloves.
The 2 goals of the cleanup are to remove unsightly and environmentally harmful debris from
Florida's coastlines and raise awareness about this preventable litter problem. Litter poses a
threat to wildlife - plastic bags are mistaken for jellyfish and eaten by sea turtles. Lost and
discarded fishing tackle is eaten by birds and becomes an entangling death trap to many types
of animal life.
The first 1,000 volunteers, who pre-register, will receive a free T-shirt. Cleanup volunteers are
provided with garbage bags and gloves. Safety vests, litter sticks and additional supplies are
available by request. In an effort to reduce the number of plastic bottles introduced into our
waste stream, we recommend volunteers bring reusable water bottles.
All dumpster and beautification requests must be submitted in writing, and include a map, to
the KLCB office no later than 2 weeks BEFORE your requested cleanup date to be considered for
the ICC. This cleanup is a county wide effort, focused on our shorelines and waterways.
Volunteers are encouraged to choose a location in their local community to help clean and
beautify! Lakes, rivers, canals, and shorelines are great locations for volunteers to participate in
the International Coastal Cleanup. Volunteers may also join in one of our community
coordinated cleanups. This is a great opportunity for students to earn community service
hours!
