Volunteer check-in is at the American Red Cross station at 1 First Street North in Jacksonville Beach.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old or accompanied by an adult. Community service certificates will be available for participants.
The cleanup celebrates the North Atlantic right whales' yearly return to their only known calving area in the southeastern United States.
