Valentine’s Day is here, and whether your affection focuses on a significant other, family, or friends, love is all about warm feelings and being kind to one another. This day doesn’t just have to be about showing love to other people. Something that we love with all our hearts in Southwest Florida is the Gulf of Mexico.

Show your ocean love by joining Coastal Watch for a beach cleanup on the causeway islands from 10-11:30am on Feb. 14. Volunteers will check in on Causeway A (the island closest to the toll booth) at the picnic tables on the north side (facing Pine Island). Gloves and trash buckets will be provided to volunteers. Don’t forget to bring your family and friends to help celebrate your LOVE for the ocean! Sign up here for the Ocean Love Causeway Cleanup or contact SCCF Community Conservation Coordinator Kealy McNeal at kmcneal@sccf.org or 239-472-8585, ext. 2300.
