We had an amazing time coming together with some other local companies to do a marina clean-up project at Cannonsport Marina in Palm Beach Shores. It is so important to keep our underwater environment free from debris and trash. Debris and trash in the water not only affects the aquatic ecosystem but it could also damage your boat bottom.
It is sad to say, but we weren't surprised at some of the debris that we collected underwater. It wasn't just trash that was thrown overboard but also larger and dangerous pieces that were negligently discard by irresponsible people. We will concede that some may have been accidentally dropped in the water but for the most part?
Some of these pieces, should they have been caught up in a propeller, would have caused costly damage to a nautibottom. And, again, this is extremely detrimental to the aquatic ecosystem.
We spent quite a few hours at the marina and were able to gather and clean up a great deal of trash and debris. We would like to remind you to be responsible boat owners and good stewards to the waters. We enjoy these waters every day in South Florida whether by boating, swimming, surfing, kayaking or fishing. Keeping the waterways clean is the right thing to do. It is the responsible thing to do.
Many thanks to our brothers and sisters in the industry that participated and a very heartfelt thank you to Cannonsport Marina for inviting us to take part in this worthy project. If you are a local marina in Palm Beach County and are interested in a swift clean-up of your marina please let us know. We are a mighty underwater dive force here in South Florida. As individual companies we may "compete" for business but for a worthy project we come together for a common goal and a force to be reckoned with.
Peace,
