Please note that Martinique Beach is critical habitat for endangered species, including piping plovers and bank swallows. As such, access to the beach is only permitted through designated trails and clean-up volunteers are strictly prohibited from walking in the dunes (which is also a best practice for beach goers on all beaches, everywhere since dunes are extremely fragile ecosystems).

In addition, clean-up volunteers must also abide by the following best practices:

• Assess large or buried debris (e.g., lobster traps, etc.) before removal. If removal would cause habitat damage—due to depth, vegetation, or dune burial—leave the debris in place.

• Handle containers with oil or harmful substances carefully. Transport, store, and dispose of them in a way that prevents spills on the beach.

• Restore any disturbed areas to their original condition. Fill in any holes created during debris removal to maintain beach integrity and prevent hazards.

• Leave natural features such as driftwood and seaweed undisturbed; do not remove or alter them during clean-up activities.
