MARINE CLEANUP INITIATIVE, INC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed out of the need to save our waterways for future generations and to improve the quality of our seafood products as well as the quality of life of our aquatic and airborne critters. Public ignorance and lackadaisical attitudes cause serious contamination and deterioration of the aquatic and shoreline environments. It is our belief that people would change their habits if they were aware of the impact of their actions.
