Coastal Watch thanks volunteer crews
Part of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation family, Coastal Watch recently reported on volunteer efforts. The SCCF partnered with 13 members of Kingfisher Real Estate for a beach cleanup at Gulfside City Park. The Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club accepted the mission of digging up buried hazardous debris on island beaches on multiple weekends in March. The Newton Christian Reformed Church, from Newton, Iowa, helped clear the trails at the Periwinkle Preserve. The Iowans also helped pot up hundreds of mangroves for Coastal Watch’s Adopt-A-Mangrove program. Two groups from Eckerd College assisted in March. One group helped move large dead vegetation from the Periwinkle Preserve trail, while the second group cleared debris from a SCCF lot on West Gulf Drive. Coastal Watch thanked all of the volunteers for their time and assistance.
