January 19th clean up on SGI

Coastal Cleanup PSA

The University of Florida, in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
seeks volunteers to participate in coastal cleanup events on St. George Island on Saturday, January 19 th, and
on St. Joseph Peninsula on Sunday, January 20th. These beaches provide important resources for nesting
shorebirds and sea turtles as well as our local economy, and by volunteering for these cleanup efforts
to remove unsightly and harmful trash and debris, you can help improve our valuable coastal habitats.
Volunteers will also document the amount and types of items they pick up on the beach to determine
sources of coastal debris to help reduce and prevent its adverse impacts on our beaches. If you are
interested in volunteering for these cleanup events or have any questions, please e-mail Jessica McKenzie at
sjpturtlepatrol@gmail.com.
