Saturday, June 30, Sebastian Spoil Island Cleanup Event (8am-4pm):  “Micro-marine debris” is a serious problem in our state waterways, along our shorelines and on our spoil islands. These small or “micro” pieces of plastic, glass and other debris are ingested by animals, woven into nests and disrupt the ecosystem. As a result, the Florida Department of Agriculture, along with Sembler & Sembler, is hosting a “Micro-Marine Debris” training and cleanup event to help alleviate this problem.

The day will begin at 1528 Indian River Drive, Sebastian, with a classroom training activity, followed by lunch. Volunteers will then be transported via boat to a spoil island where the cleanup activities will take place. All training materials, personal protection equipment, cleanup tools, lunch, snacks and beverages will be provided. Spaces are limited. Please be sure to sign up in advance to reserve your spot.
