5th of July Beach Cleanup |
Thank you to all of the volunteers who dedicated their time to clean up our beaches the morning after the Independence Day celebrations. The 4th of July weekend is the most popular of the entire year for beach-goers, but it also results in the most litter on our shores. We are very grateful for the volunteers. Their efforts made an immediate impact in protecting our environment and keeping our beaches clean. |

Sea oats are an extremely valuable plant for coast line and barrier island protection. The massive root system is capable of holding soil and sand in place during extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tropical storms. Thank you to Seagram's Escapes for making the event possible and to all of the awesome volunteers!
