CLEANUP III

Matheson Hammock Park

Our third and final International Coastal Cleanup was a big success. On October 31st, we returned to Matheson Hammock Park six weeks after our first cleanup and two King Tide events. As if Halloween wasn't already scary enough, volunteers collected more than 1,000 pieces of new trash. Sorting it afterwards was an impactful and eye-opening experience as highlighted by participants Emily, Sofia, Isabella and Quinn (above).
