Join the South Carolina Aquarium for a community cleanup in Shem Creek, supported by Oceanic Global and Corona USA!

Help us protect our coastal habitats and connect with other ocean change-makers in the Charleston community! Volunteers are invited to join the South Carolina Aquarium, Oceanic Global, and Corona USA for a litter cleanup of the Shem Creek Park and Waterfront area, preventing marine debris and microplastics from entering our waterways and the ocean.

Meeting Point: Shem Creek Park (HERE)

Access:

We encourage volunteers to ride-share or carpool where possible. Shem Creek Park can be accessed via Shrimp Boat Ln off of Coleman Blvd.
For those commuting by car, free parking is limited for this cleanup and can be found in the Shem Creek Park lot. Directly adjacent is the Waterfront parking lot that volunteers can use for a small fee.
Shem Creek Park is ADA accessible within the designated park area. Some cleanup activity may occur beyond the accessible areas, so volunteers can choose where to clean according to their own ability and comfort level.
All ages are welcome at this cleanup.

What to pack: Volunteers will be provided with clean-up supplies, including gloves and bags. Come dressed comfortably for the clean-up, we recommend closed-toe shoes and bring your reusable water bottle (there will be a water refill station onsite). Please bring your own sun protection if you need it. If you'd like, feel free to bring your own gardening gloves and reusable bags!
