Broward County Waterway Cleanup

For nearly five decades, the Broward County Waterway Cleanup has brought our community together to protect the waterways that define South Florida.

 

The 49th Annual Waterway Cleanup was another incredible reminder of what can happen when people come together with a shared purpose. More than 1,300 volunteers joined us across 37 cleanup sites, removing 20 tons of trash from local waterways in just one morning.

 

Students earning community service hours, families volunteering together, scouts, Sea Cadets, and longtime participants all played a role in continuing this growing tradition of environmental stewardship. Many of these volunteers are part of a legacy that has been passed down through generations since the cleanup first began in 1976.

 

Through the Waterway Cleanup Scholarship Contest, MIASF also awarded more than $2,000 in scholarships to Broward County students whose creativity and passion for protecting our marine environment stood out.

 

The Waterway Cleanup is more than a single day of service, it’s a community tradition that continues to grow each year.
