Thanksgiving may be over, but we're not done giving thanks to the beautiful waterways and wildlife that make our community so special! This Saturday, let's turn our GRATITUDE into ACTION. Join Waterway Warriors as we tackle trash along one of our most important waterways, helping protect dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife from dangerous debris and entanglement.

After a day of giving thanks, let's spend a morning giving back. Grab your friends, family, and those closed-toe shoes, and help us make a BIG difference. Let's give our lagoon something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend.

📅 Saturday, November 28
🕗 8:00–10:00 AM *** WE START ON-TIME... DON'T BE LATE!***
📍 Staging at Kelly Park East (Google Maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/ueuuB7wtrcfb5q5x8 )

This area is—heartbreakingly—the #1 hotspot for dolphin entanglement in our entire region. But together, we can change that! By rolling up our sleeves and removing dangerous debris, we’re protecting wildlife, restoring their habitat, and creating healthier waterways for our whole community. Let’s turn tragedy into triumph—one piece of trash at a time!

⚠️ Important Notes:
- Closed-toed shoes are mandatory for all participants.
- No children under 12 are permitted at this cleanup.
