Egmont Key is still littered with trash after the 2024 hurricane season. Join us in a united effort to clean up debris and restore this treasured island!
This event is not like the usual beach cleanup. We will be focusing on removing large debris from the interior and shoreline of the island and hauling it onto barges. There are no services, including bathrooms, on the island. Volunteers must be >16 years old and physically able to withstand 4+ hours in the Florida summer heat. We will have a reprieve station set up at check-in where volunteers can grab some shade, Gatorade, snacks and water refills.
Volunteers can meet us on Egmont Key with their own boat or get a free ride to the island from one of the following vessels:
+ Hubbard's Marina Ferry (departing from Fort De Soto, Tierra Verde, Florida)
+ Riverside Tours (departing from Regatta Point Marina, Palmetto, Florida)
+ AMI Dolphin Tours (departing from Waterline Villas and Marina, Anna Maria Island, Florida)
Registration aboard the free ferries is limited and is required for each individual in your party. Volunteers will not be able to board without a valid registration. To board the ferry, you must be physically capable of disembarking from a semi-mobile ramp on the shoreline or climbing down a ladder. Information about meeting time and other ferry logistics will be communicated through email, so be sure to register with an email that you check regularly.
Free lunch and snacks will be provided for all volunteers as payment for their hard work! Registration for this event is required!
We hope to see you there as we continue to come together as a community to protect and restore Tampa Bay.
