2020 DIY International Coastal Cleanup

To celebrate National Estuaries Week, CBA is teaming with Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup to ensure swimmable, fishable, trash-free waters in our beautiful estuary. Volunteers are encouraged to hit sites in their community where trash is overlooked or misplaced. We welcome everyone in the Panhandle region to participate, as this will be a “Do-it-yourself” cleanup between September – October.

All volunteers are encouraged to bring grabbers, trash bags, closed-toe shoes, reusable water bottle, sunscreen. bug spray, and hand sanitizer.
