The Fort Myers Beach PTO partnered with The Kiwanis Club of Fort Myers Beach and The Goodz for a Beach Cleanup Sunday. It was a perfect day for a back cleanup.
The PTO “adopted” the shoreline and tracked the data using a citizen science app My Coast. It tracks marine debris, storm damage and even abandoned boats.
Kiwanis donated money for the supplies and snacks and Graham at The Goodz gave away free ice cream to every kid who participated.
The kids collected over 650 pieces of trash along the coastline in 2 hours. Top three items found were cigarette butts (87) plastic bags (80) and beverage cans (62).
Way to go Beach Kids!
Thank you everyone that takes their free time so we can be proud of Ft. Myers Beach & the tourist Dollars keep coming to help the island come out of the disastrous 3 years we had with hurricanes.👍🏽🙏.
When can we expect to start seeing some work happening on the new Goodz store?
