Key West Captains and Conch Republic Marine Army Join Forces for Mangrove Cleanups

Key West Captains, a group of experienced boat captains dedicated to protecting the Florida Keys ecosystem, and the Conch Republic Marine Army, a non-profit organization committed to restoring the health of the Florida Keys' marine environment, are excited to announce their joint volunteer venture to clean up the mangroves together.

The mangrove cleanups focus on removing debris and trap lines from the vital mangrove habitat. Volunteers work alongside experienced captains and marine conservationists to make a tangible difference in the health of the Florida Keys ecosystem.

Why Mangroves Matter

Mangrove forests are essential to the health of the Florida Keys. They provide habitat for a wide variety of marine life, protect coastlines from erosion, and help to filter pollutants from the water. Unfortunately, mangroves are under threat from pollution, development, and climate change.

How to Get Involved

Volunteers of all experience levels are welcome. Boats and equipment will be provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles and gloves.
