About the Program
The Mississippi Coastal Cleanup Program (MSCCP) is a non-profit educational program that promotes the conservation of the local marine environment by facilitating active stewardship within coastal Mississippi. The MSCCP mission is to prevent and remove litter from the coastal environment through education, outreach, research, and cleanup events. The MSCCP organizes monthly beach cleanups, provides in-class presentations, and hosts outreach booths at multiple public events throughout the year.

Mississippi Coastal Cleanup would like to introduce a new sub-chapter starting in 2024,
the Barrier Island Cleanup Initiative!
Funded in partnership with the U.S. National Park Service, MSCCP will host volunteer-based cleanups on the Gulf Islands National Seashore barrier islands. Volunteers will have opportunities to help us remove marine debris in the Mississippi Sound on Ship, Cat, Horn, and Petit Bois barrier islands.
