Sanibel is calling for volunteers to participate in various beach cleanups. Coastal Watch, a part of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation family, is hosting an Earth Day Beach Cleanup and Breakfast on April 22nd from 9 to 11 a.m. Interested individuals can register for a particular section of the beach and assist in removing debris to promote a healthy marine environment for both humans and wildlife. Coastal Watch Director Kealy McNeal expressed her excitement about celebrating volunteers this Earth Day while emphasizing the need for continual stewardship of our oceans and beaches, which is impossible without community help. The event will begin with a light breakfast provided by Bank of the Islands at the Bailey Homestead Preserve on Sanibel from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., and volunteers will receive their cleanup gear. All equipment can be returned to the Bailey Homestead Preserve by noon.
