MUVE is excited to provide opportunities for our community to give back to critical coastal habitats through philanthropic-based restoration workdays. On Saturday, June 18, MUVE and the Miami-Dade Parks Natural Areas Management (NAM) Division are collaborating to enhance Haulover Park’s coastal dunes. At this public event, volunteers will remove invasive vegetation, plant native sea oats, and clean the beach, so please wear sun protection and closed-toed shoes. All materials, water, and snacks will be provided. We encourage you to bring your own reusable gloves, reusable water bottle, and download the free CleanSwell app on your smartphone to collect marine debris data during the beach cleanup!
9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Volunteers will register on a first come, first serve basis. SPACES ARE LIMITED.
Directions to check-in
- Check-in will be adjacent to 13900 Collins Ave Parking. Find the underpass from the parking lot to the beach and our tent will be located just on the other side.
Community Service Hours
- For those volunteers who would like community service hours, you will be required to check-in and confirm your email with staff. Following the event, those that requested a certificate will receive an email with an electronic certificate.
Safety
- The completion of both Miami-Dade County liability waiver and Frost Science liability waiver are required to participate in this event. All necessary waivers are included in the registration process. Park staff will provide a safety briefing and orientation to the specific volunteer activities at the start of the event.

Citizen Science Cleanup
- Download the free CleanSwell app for your smart phone before the cleanup! Then you can submit data directly to the Ocean Conservancy’s global ocean trash database, which provides researchers and policymakers a snapshot of pollution problems and the data to help develop solutions. You can track your positive impact through the CleanSwell app on any smartphone.
Parking Instructions
- Parking will be free for registered volunteers. Parking passes will be given to registered participants at check-in. These parking passes will need to be placed on the dashboard of your vehicle and must be visible. Parking passes will be good for the entirety of the day of the event.
