Sea Turtle Activity Update June 28.pdf

Thanks to all the volunteers who participated in the post July Fourth beach cleanup to make sure the beach is clean and flat for sea turtle season. July fifth was the perfect time to clean a messy beach after a weekend of July Fourth celebrations. Thanks to the JW Marriott team, led by General Manager Sharon Lockwood, along with Brandon Bahr and his crew from the Marco Island Watersports. Add in resident volunteers and over 60 pounds of trash was picked up with most of it found along the dunes. Plastic water bottles and beer cans led the count for the July Fourth weekend. 

For almost three years now, JW Marriott has sponsored a quarterly beach cleanup. Initially a beach cleanup was planned for June but was specifically moved to the day after July Fourth to make a greater impact for the beach environment.

Let’s all pitch in to make our beach clean and safe for everyone to enjoy!
