FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Community partners are coming together for the third annual Captiva Coastal Cleanup from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24.
Established by local Capt. Jimmy Burnsed of Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team and his wife, Sarah, the Captiva Coastal Cleanup calls on the community to help keep Captiva Island a beautiful place to live, boat, fish and enjoy the water by organizing a day to pick up debris along Captiva and surrounding islands' shorelines and waterways. Efforts focus primarily on the mangrove shoreline and waters ranging from North Captiva to Cayo Costa.
The annual event is a collective effort led by the Burnseds in partnership with Keep Lee County Beautiful and community partners including Captiva Cruises, Captiva Rod & Gun Club, McCarthy's Marina, Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team and Scuba Quest.
Local guides from Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team will lead the community of island boaters in efforts along the coastal habitats. Local law enforcement from the Lee County Sheriff's Office on Captiva and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Division of Law Enforcement (FWC LE) will provide officers on boats for the safety of participants. Scuba Quest is providing diving equipment to professional scuba divers for underwater cleanup in and around Redfish Pass, and scuba operations will be further supported by FWC LE's agency dive team.
