Florida Pier Walkers Program

Join Ocean Conservancy in an effort to address marine wildlife entanglement by removing fishing line debris along fishing piers, the shoreline and even underwater. Cleanups are done at one site per month, typically the third Saturday. Pier Walking will be done by teams of two or more. Anyone is welcome to participate. The dates and times for Pier Walking are flexible and can be set to your schedule. We ask volunteers to commit to two shifts (2 - 4 hr/shift) per month. You can pick the days of the week and times that are best for you: weekday, weekend, morning, afternoon, and evening are all options.
