Our mission is to protect Tampa Bay’s beaches, coast, and waterways by leading cleanups, raising awareness, and empowering community action.

Our first goal of $1,500 aims to raise enough money to buy buckets, litter grabbers, t-shirts, and waters for our volunteers. Any leftover funds will be used to aid in the restoration of Tampa Bay’s waterways.
