Help clean up the coast this weekend

There will be two coastal clean-up events in Franklin and Gulf counties this weekend.

The University of Florida and with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are looking for volunteers to participate in coastal cleanup events on St. George Island on Saturday and on St. Joseph Peninsula on Sunday.

 The St. George Island Cleanup will be held from 9 till 1.

 Volunteers should meet at the lighthouse parking lot.

The St. Joseph Peninsula Coastal Cleanup will take place from 9:00 till noon and volunteers will meet at Cape Palms Park.

Trash bags, gloves, and water will be provided.

Volunteers will help clean up trash and debris as well as document the amount and types of items they pick up on the beach.

The information will help determine sources of coastal debris to hopefully reduce coastal pollution in the future.

If you are interested in volunteering for these wither of the cleanup events, e-mail Jessica McKenzie atsjpturtlepatrol@gmail.com.
