PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF NEED
Marine debris is one of the most serious environmental issues after sea-level rise and climate
change, threatening ecosystems and local economies. While we know that cleanups are not the
long-term solution, participating in a shoreline cleanup is an eye-opening and often shocking
experience that serves as a catalyst for change. Volunteers who participate in these kinds of in-
context educational activities are more likely to be aware of conservation issues and become
better stewards of the environment. These activities also increase civic engagement and build
community.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Grantee will organize and lead a series of cleanups and "Keep Our Beaches Clean"
engagements throughout the grant cycle that provide an educational hands-on experience that
not only has an immediate impact to the local marine environment but also encourages volunteers
to take further action on this issue. The Grantee will provide multiple pathways for volunteers to
be become part of the solution, including tips on plastic reduction, proper recycling, ways in which
they can influence others, and how they can encourage local businesses/restaurants to join in on
reducing their plastic waste as well.
The cleanups and 'Keep Our Beaches Clean' engagement events will be scheduled on dates
selected and finalized in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach. These event dates will include
high volume times such as Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, etc. Each event will be held for at
least 3 hours.
In addition, the grantee will acquire 50 Clear Stream Recycling bins to be made available for front
of house aluminum can and plastic bottle collection at special events that take place on City
property. This will serve as an effective and educational collection mechanism that engages
visitors to help meet the city's recycling and sustainability goals.
LOCATION
Locations throughout the Miami Beach city limits, to be selected and finalized in collaboration with
the City of Miami Beach.
GRANT ACTIVITIES
(Include activity name, activity description, description of service recipients, and number of service
recipients)
The Grantee will perform the following:
Page 17
DocuSign Envelope ID:05CC3AD4-8E8F-4B90-A78F-83DA5C094373
1) Host International Coastal Cleanup Day with City of Miami Beach as a 'Strategic
Sponsor'. On Sept 16th, 2023 we will be hosting our annual event with —60 cleanups
all over the County, and 7-10 will be in Miami Beach. City of Miami Beach sponsorship
will include the following benefits: Name / logo / link featured on ICC Registration
website, Name / logo featured on communications (Flyer, Emails, Signage), city
provided Promotional coupon or flyer in 3,000 giveaway volunteer tote bags,
Dedicated Social Media Posts mentioning your support, Priority early-bird registration
for any cleanup ICC locations(25 spots), Thank-you display with ICC impact summary,
Free T-Shirts for main points of contact. Details on page 11-13 here:

5NolunteerCleanup_Corporate_Sponsorship_2023-Q1.pdf?1680630515
2) Plan and host three (3) VolunteerCleanup.Org led "Keep our Beaches Clean"
engagement I Community cleanups at key high-impact weekends of CMB
choosing (should be scheduled 30 days in advance for maximum effectiveness and to
recruit volunteers).
3) Host two (2) `Cleanup Training Workshops' — One of our biggest successes as an
organization is enabling local community members to lead cleanups so there are
always events posted on our website for volunteers to join. These workshops will be
designed to train new cleanup hosts on best practices with the necessary tools to lead
successful cleanups. In addition, we would encourage any CMB staff (sanitation or
sustainability teams) to participate and establish monthly `beautification' cleanups
around town to get some additional hands in 'deep cleaning' of neighborhoods. The
city can then partner / collaborate through the neighborhood communication liaisons
to engage local HOA's, resident groups and students.
4) Acquire 50 Clear Stream Recycling Bins. Recycling and reclamation of aluminum
is critical to the success of our Plastic Free Soda and Beverage Contract, but special
events are doing a horrific job in front of house recycling. We will store and provide
these effective recycling bins to provide (at no charge) to any city sponsored event
(pride parade, art deco weekend, etc) and (for a small fee) to for-profit special events
(to cover the cost of storage, transportation, bags and replacements)to enable events
to establish effective front-of-house recycling. CMB Tourism and Sanitation are
welcome (and encouraged) to suggest these units to all events. Here are examples of
the bins https://www.clearstreamrecyclinq.com/category-s/358.htm
The Grantee shall promote upcoming events on social media following guidance per Article II
Section 13. The Grantee will recruit volunteers through its website VolunteerCleanup.org and
Page 18
DocuSign Envelope ID:05CC3AD4-8E8F-4B90-A78F-83DA5C094373
social media.
GOALS/OUTCOMES
(Include outcomes, measures, and targets)
At each of the proposed cleanup events, the Grantee expects to collect an estimated 200+ pounds
of trash and litter per event, based on what has been collected at previous events.
At each of the proposed cleanup events, the Grantee expects to recruit 25 volunteers per event,
and engage hundreds of visitors during the 'Keep Our Beaches Clean' engagement activities.
The outcomes of each event, including number of volunteers and total pounds of debris collected,
shall be recorded and included in the initial and final reports.
STAFFING
(Include position title and description/responsibilities to grant program)
Dara Schoenwald, Executive Director, will plan, organize, and lead cleanups. All reporting and
grant administration will also be handled by the Executive Director.
David Doebler, Board President, will co-lead on weekend cleanups.
A network of seasoned cleanup leaders and paid event staff can assist as needed.
