Naples beach cleanup for International Clean-up day

IMG_4295

What a successful day of cleaning up our local waters here in Naples! The environment is why we were there and we accomplished removing over eight bags of trash!

I was also told that while the divers were cleaning up underwater there were several locals that became interested in what we were doing. When they were told we were cleaning up trash and cleaning up the Nisida Bay area they were shocked and began picking up trash themselves. How amazing that we had the opportunity to spread the idea of conservation through cleaning and diving.

A special thanks and shout out to Mike M, Evan B, Rayna B, “The Girls”, and Dominique for showing up and doing their best to clean up the ocean.

  1. ahhhh. I seriously think that those on top had the worst job. We did not protective suits, masks and clear air to breathe while sifting through the stuff. It was really a fun time. Thanks for putting it all together.

  2. Thanks for coming out! I really think that we made an impact both on the ocean and in the locals minds and attitudes that saw us cleaning.
