What is ADOPT-A-SHORE?
Adopt-a-Shore is a cooperative partnership between the public/private sector and Pinellas County. It is a program that allows individuals and/or groups* to participate in community involvement through the "adoption" of approximately one mile section of county shoreline. Participants agree to perform four cleanups a year to remove litter and debris. Shore adoptions greatly enhance the appearance of our shorelines and go a long way to reducing the debris from entering our waterways and polluting the natural habitats of our native wildlife.

*A group is defined as a business, a public or private school or a civic, social, fraternal, community or religious organization.
