Dunedin Reef Cleanup (23-June-2012)

[loquat149]

Reef Monitoring, Inc. is organizing another reef cleanup on Saturday June 23rd, 2012 at the new Clearwater Harbor Marina. Divers will meet at the marina at 8:00 am. Boat owners can launch at the Seminole Boat Ramp and then tie up at the outer floating docks of the marina. Registration includes an event t-shirt and a catered lunch and there will be raffle prizes for the dive teams that recover the most marine debris.

Reef Monitoring

We always have a blast at these events, as you can see from the videos of our previous cleanups:

Please visit our website for more details and get information on how to participate as a corporate sponsor.

We really need help from boat owners this year. If you can provide space on your boat for a couple of additional divers (or more!) please let us know immediately.

Contact us at:
727.259.7404 or cleanup@reefmonitoring.org

This year we're coordinating our event with a Beach Cleanup organized by the St. Petersburg College's Science & Adventure Club (SAC). This is a great way for non-divers to get involved, too. More details on the beach cleanup will be posted on our website shortly.

Hope to see you there!

New this year is a separate raffle for a custom made t-shirt quilt. A local Florida business, Cape Haze Quilting, has donated a t-shirt quilt to Reef Monitoring to be raffled off. You provide them with YOUR old t-shirts and they make them into a quilt. Click here to see an example of one made out of some old dive t-shirts:

You don't need to be present to win or even participate in the clean-up! The raffle is open to anyone and 100% of the proceeds go directly towards sponsoring Reef Monitoring's research efforts.
