About The Event
Join us on Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 AM for a special World Mangrove Day Cleanup & Propagule Collection at Island Farms on Stock Island!
Together, we’ll help protect one of the largest remaining undeveloped areas in the Lower Keys—a unique shoreline that not only collects marine debris but also serves as an important gathering place for mangrove propagules (baby mangroves) carried in by the tides.
Why does this matter? Last year, a significant percentage of the propagules used in Coastlove’s mangrove restoration projects were collected during this very event, helping support future mangrove outplanting efforts throughout the Keys. By joining us, you’ll play a direct role in restoring our coastlines, improving water quality, creating wildlife habitat, and helping our islands stay resilient.
🌱 What We’ll Do:
✔️ Remove marine debris from the shoreline
✔️ Collect viable mangrove propagules for restoration projects
