Malama Maui Nui to launch ‘Get the Drift and Bag It!’

“Get the Drift and Bag It!” will take place from Sept. 1-18. This campaign mobilizes communities around the globe to host cleanups, collect litter data and support science-based solutions for a healthy Earth and its oceans. Here, Maui Preparatory Academy students clean the beach in Lahaina.
Get the Drift and Bag It! is an annual cleanup campaign hosted by Malama Maui Nui in partnership with the Ocean Conservancy that seeks to empower Maui Nui residents in their environmental stewardship of our island community.
This year, “Get the Drift and Bag It!” will take place from Sept. 1-18.
To participate in this campaign, community members and partners can register for an Individual/Solo or Quaranteam cleanup at MMNui.org/Cleanups.
Team Leaders choose the location, create a disposal plan and contribute data.
Malama Maui Nui provides the tools and support needed to make your cleanup a success.
A group cleanup (“Quaranteam”) is recommended for members of the same household or workplace.
Only “Join a Team” if you’ve been invited by your Team Leader.
For the most up-to-date public health emergency rules, visit MauiCounty.gov and CDC.gov/coronavirus.
Individual/Solo cleanups are recommended for community members at high risk for illness or who prefer an independent activity.
Malama Maui Nui staff members are conducting individual cleanups from their remote workspaces and collectively submitting their data.
This campaign is in partnership with Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup campaign, which mobilizes communities around the globe to host cleanups, collect litter data and support science-based solutions for a healthy Earth and our oceans.
From mauka to makai, your collective efforts in citizen science help to influence policy and production practices that nurture the environment in support of our global ecosystems, economy, quality of life and local culture.
Participation is free, but donations are encouraged and appreciated. Visit MMNui.org/Cleanups for more information and to register your cleanup.
