Shorelines and waterways
Remove litter and nonhazardous storm debris through authorized projects with a disposal plan.
Environmental stewardship
Cleaner shorelines. Healthier waterways. Stronger communities.
MGA develops partner-approved cleanup and stewardship projects that connect local knowledge, volunteer effort, responsible planning, and visible follow-through.
Where the work can focus
Care for the places that connect Florida communities.
Parks and community spaces
Support approved cleanup in places people share and local organizations already care for.
Natural areas
Follow land-manager direction for access, sensitive areas, waste handling, and volunteer roles.
Recurring stewardship
Build repeatable projects that track participation, materials removed, area served, and unfinished needs.
Responsible project design
Every cleanup needs more than volunteers.
- 01
Confirm the lead
Identify the landowner, manager, public agency, or organization authorized to approve the work.
- 02
Plan the site
Define access, hazards, materials, equipment, disposal, timing, and volunteer limits.
- 03
Coordinate people
Match volunteers to safe roles and share the confirmed location, scope, and point of contact.
- 04
Report the result
Record hours, approved outputs, before-and-after documentation, and next steps.
Propose a cleanup site
Share a defined place and the authorized contact.
MGA will review the site, permissions, safety needs, waste plan, and potential volunteer roles before discussing field work.
