US Sailing Team Coastal Clean-Up 2019

On Sunday, January 14, 2019, the US Sailing Team and Olympic Development Program athletes were joined by local and foreign sailors and volunteers who participated in the US Sailing Coconut Grove Coastal Clean-Up. The event was organized by US Sailing in partnership with VolunteerCleanup.Org and was sponsored by World Sailing.

Upwards of 100 individuals collected over 850 pounds of trash from the mangroves lining Kennedy Park and Prime Point Marina. The athletes also took part in a workshop specifically designed to help identify how to become ‘change makers’ and reduce plastic pollution.

Getting back to my roots today with a nice paddle cleanup. This one goes out to my friend Stephanie Vollack who needs some good vibes and karma points for extra luck and health to come her way. 30 gal bag of crushed beer cans from the garbage cans at Monument Island (surprisingly clean) and 40 pounds of trash from the mangrove side where trash washed up.
