Marine debris removal volunteer day Mar. 25 at Cross Bayou/Joe’s Creek Waterway
The event, sponsored by Pinellas County and Keep Pinellas County Beautiful, will be part of the annual Great American Cleanup
Each year, community members and organizations like Keep Pinellas Beautiful, work with local governments to identify areas that are inundated with marine debris. The Great American Cleanup is a campaign through which Keep Pinellas Beautiful will be hosting numerous sites throughout Pinellas County. Dedicated site captains, volunteers and team members plan to remove a large amount of potentially hazardous materials from our creeks, watersheds and oceans.
Won’t you join us for this Waterway and Mangrove island cleanup in Pinellas Park? You can bring your own canoe/kayak or borrow a canoe from us (assigned morning of event, first come first serve). We'll provide all the cleanup materials you'll need and the American Waterworks Association-Florida Section is providing everyone a picnic lunch after the event!
