7 years ago I founded @cleanthisbeachup on the belief that if one person can make a difference, collective effort can change the world. š„¹š
Today we celebrate what started as an idea and turned into a movement š 122,000 lbs of trash removed from our shorelines and over 12,000 volunteers inspired.
This journey is proof that individual action does matter, and when a community comes together, the impact is unstoppable.
To my incredible crew: thank you for your passion, your grit, and for always going the extra mile. To every single volunteer who has ever shown up, gotten their hands dirty, and believed in this missionā this is YOUR impact, YOUR win.
And to our sponsors and corporate partners, thank you for believing in us and helping make all of this possible.
Weāve shown up. Weāve showed off. Weāve Cleaned This Beach Up. š We are the wave of change.

Part 3 of Biscayne National Park Trashy Finds š®
@biscaynenps
Out here, trash doesnāt just sitā¦ it ages. Decades of sun, salt, and storms have turned discarded plastics so brittle they crumble at the touch breaking them down into microplastics we canāt even see.
We found the usual suspects: single-use plastics, broken pieces of boats, tangled fishing gear, and hundreds of flip flops washed deep into the island. š
DM if you want to join us at BNP and follow for part 4.

Small Actions. Big Waves š @bradyhunterfoundation
Huge thank you to the Brady Hunter Foundation for stepping up and adopting Sandspur Island in partnership with Oleta River State Park šæš
We were proud to team up and help bring this initiative to life by organizing and running 4 island cleanups and together, we removed an incredible 1,814 lbs of litter with the help of 74 volunteers š
This is what real impact looks like: strong partnerships, shared purpose, and action for our oceans.š Letās keep showing up for our planet one cleanup at a time. š«¶

Trap Line Throwdown 2026 šŖ¢š„
Since the beginning of BNP cleanup season (DecāApril), Biscayne National Park has removed over 20 miles of trap lineā¦
But THIS week? 5 crews teamed up with @biscaynenps and pulled 18.6 miles in ONE DAY!!! Thatās 4,390 lbs of discarded fishing gearā gone. No longer choking mangroves. No longer threatening wildlife.
Huge shoutout to everyone who showed up and put in the work šŖ And to our badass crewā¦ yāall really held it DOWN in the chaos at Old Rhodes š
3 more cleanups to before the end of the season! DM to join, but remember!!! These cleanups are not for the faint of heart.
