“Working with youth in programs like this is what the Blue Scholars educational platform is all about.”
CLEANUP I
Matheson Hammock Park
A small group of dedicated volunteers joined Blue Scholars Initiative in the International Coastal Cleanup at Matheson Hammock Park last Saturday for the first of three cleanups. COVID-19 restrictions limited our numbers but our cleaning power was in full force. Fighting the heat and incessant mosquitos, we collected 77 pounds of debris (47 lbs of recyclables, 30 lbs of non-recyclables) and logged each item into the Ocean Conservancy’s Clean Swell App to tally our total for the day.
Looking at all of this trash, the message was very clear to these students.
Consider your impact
Education is power
