Summary: The purpose of this workshop is to train Caribbean biologists and educators in effective methods of hosting cleanups that remove plastics and other trash from habitats used by resident and migratory birds. In the training, participants will learn how to organize, plan, promote, and implement cleanups, and will be introduced to other activities that may be used with youth adults to raise awareness about the issue of plastic pollution and its impacts on birds. Each participant will leave with a cleanup kit, which includes cleanup supplies, a guide to hosting a World Migratory Bird Day 2019 program (including complete cleanup instructions), and promotional materials.
