The annual 42nd Baynanza Biscayne Bay Cleanup Day took place at over 30 locations across Miami-Dade County on Saturday.
This year the VIP location for the event was staged at the historic Virginia Key Beach Park. Sponsors pitched tents and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava was in attendance.
“They’re learning about the fact that people are littering, that it’s polluting our waterways and our beaches and our environment,” Levine Cava said when asked about the importance of Baynanza. “They are learning about how important it is for everyone to do their part.”
Baynanza is celebrated throughout March and April, with a focus on getting the public involved in environmental stewardship.
