Keep Lee County Beautiful is sponsoring this year's Florida Coastal Cleanup effort scheduled Saturday, September 17, 2011 on Fort Myers Beach from 9:00am to 11:30am.
Everyone is encouraged to come to Fort Myers Beach and help in the cause to clean up the beachfront. Check in point is at Beach Elementary School. Volunteers will be provided with refreshments following the clean up.
The Coastal Cleanup is the only cleanup where trash is collected and recorded. Volunteers work in groups of 4, with 3 people collecting trash and the 4th person recording the trash on data cards. The data cards are then sent to the Ocean Conservancy where the information is used in the development of new environmental protection acts and change the behaviors that cause marine debris.
Latex gloves will be provided, however, anyone wishing to bring their own work gloves are welcome to do so.
