Citizens took CSW students from Virrick Park to the Deering Estate to participate in DERM's annual Baynanza Biscayne Bay cleanup. The students picked up several garbage bags worth of trash, with one small student even carrying a tire from the shore to a trash dropoff. Afterward, Citizens hosted a watershed pollution booth using the Enviroscape Coastal module at Commissioner Sorenson's post-Baynanza earth day celebration. Festival attendees that visited the booth learned about how land based pollution can affect our marine environment and our drinking water resources.
