We are kicking off this paw-esome adventure at Jupiter Beach, where dogs run free for miles.

But it takes a lot of work from our two-legged friends to keep this stretch of beach clean.

Let's meet the people who make it all happen.

A beach that allows dogs?

Tell me about that.

We have probably the longest stretch of beach in the state of Florida that allows dogs.

But not only do they allow dogs, but they allow dogs off-leash, which is kinda like, unheard of.

Look at that, I'm going picking!

Talk to me a little bit about the history of Friends of Jupiter Beach.

[Mary] It actually started in 1994, and a group of citizens went in front of the town of Jupiter and said, "Look, we have all these volunteers, "all these friends, that wanna get together "and clean the beach.

"So you give us a stretch of beach "where we can let our dogs loose, "and we will clean and maintain the beach for you."

What is that?

What is that?

Is that anything I should be worried about?

No.

No, okay.

Actually, that actually comes from the ocean.

[Frank] Okay.

I think right there.

Is that styrofoam?

I don't know what that is.

I know that when people come out to the beach, they tend to look for bigger stuff.

Bigger stuff, yeah.

This is the bad.

But this actually is very important.

These are the culprits.

They're very important to pick up.

Yeah, there you go.

So, in this job, it's good to underachieve?

It's to look for the small things.

[Mary] Yeah.

[Frank] Not to go for the big hit.

[Mary] We want to pick up both.

[Frank] Right.

[Mary] We wanna get the big stuff, but we wanna make sure we get the little stuff.

Great job for underachievers.

And that's right in my wheelhouse.

Yeah.

Every month we've got our standard beach cleanup, but we also have other cleanups in between with the young Friends of Jupiter Beach, and a few other beach cleanup efforts that we do.

But once a month, first Saturday of every month, we probably get anywhere between 200 to 300 volunteers.

What?

Show up on their own accord.

And they wanna be a part of keeping this the beautiful gem that it is.

Yeah, for sure!

And that's a lot of people, 300.

You must be getting friends of friends of Jupiter Beach, right?

That's the whole idea.

Tell everyone about more friends.

That's incredible!

You would both say, I'm pretty good at this.

Right?

I think you're winning.

You're getting the hang of it.

I'm pretty good, I'm pretty good, yeah.

You're getting the hang of it.

I learn quickly.
