It's that time of year again! Keep Pinellas Beautiful is partnering with the Ocean Conservancy to host the 2024 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) with events taking place between September 1st and October 31st throughout Pinellas County. This annual event brings together volunteers in coastal regions to collect, count, and document the trash they find, acting as citizen scientists all over the world.

Volunteers will assist with cleaning the shoreline and mangroves along 4th Street North in St. Petersburg. All ages are welcome to participate.
