Organizer
Our team is partnering with local governments and state Aquatic Preserve programs to implement Operation T.R.A.P. – Trash Reduction for Aquatic Preserves. The project captures litter at the source by installing interception technologies to trap and prevent litter from entering Florida’s Aquatic Preserves in the Big Bend and Nature Coast region of Florida’s Gulf Coast. By intercepting debris at the source, we are reducing the risk of wildlife entanglement or ingestion and helping to maintain the natural beauty of these aquatic preserves for future generations.
