Description

Please join Keep Pinellas Beautiful and Epic Diving FL for a beach cleanup at Sand Key Park. Please join Keep Pinellas Beautiful and Epic Diving FL for a beach cleanup at Sand Key Park. Each year 80% of the debris entering our waterways is introduced from inland areas (streets, storm-drains, lakes, ponds, etc.) through our watersheds and into the global waterway, our oceans. In addition to consumer-based debris, our watersheds can transport excess nutrients which can have a detrimental impact on the health of downstream ecosystems. To combat this issue, Keep Pinellas Beautiful partners with volunteers, organizations, and community groups throughout Pinellas County to host cleanups and beautification initiatives in an effort to help to raise awareness in the community and remove harmful debris from entering into our waterways. Please join us for a rewarding evening of community improvement, engagement, and beautification. *** WHERE TO MEET: Meet us on the beach at Sand Key Park WHAT TO WEAR: Please wear closed toed shoes and clothing you don't mind getting dirty. We recommend a hat or sunglasses, too. Bring your PPE, a snack, and your reusable water bottle! WHAT TO EXPECT: This event is 3 hours long. We will provide sunscreen, bug spray, gloves, trash bags, planting supplies, and hand sanitizer. If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Ellington at [email protected]. ***
