Celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service by helping the National Park Service and the New York Marine Rescue Center clear the shores of Fire Island. Dangerous and unsightly debris is cleared, and volunteers are taught about the types of debris and the effect it has on marine life. 

Volunteers document the trash collected to help inform ocean policy and ensure the future health of the marine ecosystem. Bring work gloves if possible.

Register in advance for this event as space is limited to ensure safe social distancing. Participants are asked to follow CDC and local public health guidelines for COVID-19. Participants are responsible for social distancing practices and must wear a face covering when social distancing cannot be maintained.
