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, February 8th, and on St.
Joseph Peninsula on Sunday, February 9th. 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.
