Twelve members of the Sebastian Inlet Sail & Power Squadron took to the waters for a meaningful cause last Friday. The group, consisting of boaters and kayakers, embarked on a cleanup expedition to spoil islands IR12, IR13, and IR14, frequented by residents and tourists alike.
Armed with bags and grabbers, the volunteers collected almost 20 pounds of trash from the islands. The squadron organizes these quarterly cleanups, which play a crucial role in maintaining the beauty and health of the area’s marine environment.
“We are happy to report that, for the most part, these islands were in great shape,” Dorothy Billington told Sebastian Daily.
Following the cleanup, the group came together for a communal hot dog cookout, a celebration of their successful efforts and a testament to their spirit of camaraderie and community service.
