Are you looking for ways you can give back to your local environment? Check out these 3 easy, feel-good ways to clean up Blue Heron Bridge.

You can make a lasting impact on one of the most beloved parks and shore diving sites in the Palm Beaches.

By removing marine debris and trash from the shore, your impact makes a huge difference on the environment. It allows marine creature populations to flourish.

 

Not only that, but you can feel good about making a difference too.  Continue to admire curious octopuses and laid-back seahorses in the shallows.  While snorkeling or diving, swim amongst balls of bait fish that school by the hundreds.  Protect and conserve the marine habitat that gives us the opportunity to observe the sea creatures we love.

Add these 3 easy, feel-good ways to clean up Blue Heron to your schedule.

1. JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP

The first way you can clean up Blue Heron Bridge is by joining the International Coastal Cleanup.  Use this opportunity to give back to the environment by removing trash from the beach.  Take a moment to give back to yourself too. 

8 AM – First, start your morning with an inspiring free yoga session led by fellow ocean-lover, Dara Lorena.

9 AM to 11 AM – Then, walk along the shoreline at Phil Foster State Park with us and Tidal Tees Apparel  Pick up debris you find and don’t forget to keep track of it with the Ocean Conservancy’s Clean Swell App.

High tide is 2:30 PM, so make a splash after the beach cleanup and join us for a Snorkel Tour or Guided Dive at the bridge.

At the end of the morning, feel good about the impact you made to clean up Blue Heron Bridge.
