Members of the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club joined volunteers from across the community on Saturday, Sept. 19, for the International Coastal Cleanup in partnership with the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF).<\/p>\n
Volunteers spent the morning helping clean Sanibel\u2019s coastline, removing litter and debris while supporting the health and beauty of the islands\u2019 natural environment.<\/p>\n
Following the cleanup, the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club sponsored an Ice Cream Social at the Bailey Homestead Preserve, giving volunteers an opportunity to cool off, connect and celebrate a successful morning of service.<\/p>\n
The event was a great opportunity for Rotarians, community members and volunteers to come together around a shared commitment to protecting the islands and giving back to the community. <\/p>\n
The International Coastal Cleanup is part of a worldwide effort to remove trash from coastlines and waterways while raising awareness about the importance of protecting marine and coastal environments.<\/p>\n
