We have received enormous interest and support for the cleanup event and are grateful for everyone that signed up to volunteer. Thank you all for supporting coastal conservation!

There will be lots of activities, food, music, vendors, and sea turtle themed fun for anyone who wishes to attend Sea Turtle Awareness Day at Clearwater Beach, but did not register for the beach clean-up.

We hope everyone enjoys Sea Turtle Awareness Day!
