In honor of National Estuaries Week and Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup, Tampa Bay Watch is recruiting volunteers for a cleanup of the North Skyway rest stop's surrounding roadways and beach areas.

The meeting location is the North Skyway Rest Area. The exit sign is labeled "North Skyway Fishing Pier". This event is family friendly and open to all ages. Parking and restrooms are available at the rest area. Volunteers will be required to wear a safety vest at all times during the event. 

Your efforts will contribute to the worldwide initiative to combat marine debris while raising awareness and highlighting the importance of the estuary right here in our own backyard, Tampa Bay!

A big thank you to Duke Energy Foundation and Surfing's Evolution and Preservation Foundation for supporting us in our marine debris efforts. Additional thanks to our partners: the Florida Department of Transportation.
