Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup Event
SEPTEMBER 19, 2009
WHAT WILL YOU F.I.N.D.?
Palm Coast is hosting an Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup event. Equipped with a $5,000 Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) grant award, City staff will be asking local volunteers to protect and enjoy nature by removing trash within their developments or along City paths, walkways and waterways. Boaters can work in saltwater canals and Intracoastal waters and walkers can clear the paths and trails alongside the waterway.
For the City's inaugural event, the 2008 cleanup was a great success.
- 98 Participants (walkers, boaters, kayakers)
- 713 lbs. of recyclable garbage
- 1244 lbs. of generic garbage
- 5.9 miles of Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) covered
- 7.1 miles of main feeder saltwater canal waterways covered
