- Hudson Beach
- Lacoochee

If you’d like to volunteer for the Pasco County Coastal Cleanup, please register online here: www.keeppascobeautiful.org/coastal-cleanup.
Trash bags will be provided and T-shirts will be given to volunteers while supplies last.
The local cleanups, mobilized by Ocean Conservancy, are part of the largest worldwide volunteer effort on behalf of ocean health. The purpose is to clean up and track the trash collected. More than 8 million metric tons of plastic trash ends up in our oceans every year. For more than 30 years, volunteers from around the world have provided a snapshot of the total amount of trash and plastic on our beaches, coasts and waterways – keeping more than 228 million pounds of trash out of our oceans.
