KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN

| Keeping Canova clean |
FOR LOVE OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS
Jay and his crew were out doing their weekly Friday cleanup of Canova Beach at the end of Eau Gallie Blvd. It's great to meet so many people who care about the environment; together we can make a difference. If you're looking for something to do on a Friday morning why not join in. Check out their facebook page for details about their next cleanup.

Canova didn't look too bad this morning but when you look a little closer the plastic straws, plastic chips and bottle caps are still there, among other strange things....

The 'rope report' total is now up to 702 ft. or 234 yds. It's not pretty what rope can do to marine animals, choking them, cutting off circulation to flippers and fins. There is an image on Danielle's - it starts with me- blog that shows a turtle that grew with rope around its middle. The rope cinched its midsection so the creature's shell grew into an hourglass shape; really heartbreaking.

Spread the word
We all can teach
How important it is
to hug a beach
It was very nice to meet y'all today. I agree, Canova wasn't looking as rough as it usually does but we still were able to collect 4 shopping bags full of junk. Hope to see y'all again soon!
