Gasp–Our Beads of Tampa Bay Clean-up Project during Earth Week - A HUGE SUCCESS!
The Results are in for the Gasp – Our Beads of Tampa Bay Survey and Clean-Up Project: Nearly 100 Pounds of Beads and 70 Pounds of Trash Collected
With funding from a Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) Mini Grant, the NAUI Green Diver Initiative (GDI) partnered with the Center for Open Exploration (C4OE) this past Earth Day weekend to carry out the inaugural Gasp – Our Beads of Tampa Bay Survey and Clean-Up Project.
On Sunday, April 23, twenty-five scuba divers plunged into the Seddon Channel off of Davis Island in downtown Tampa to do their part in support of Earth Day and the Hillsborough 100 Conservation Challenge, spearheaded by the Hillsborough County Soil and Water Conservation District. The purpose of the project was not only to clean up a small section of the channel and seawall, but to begin quantifying the distribution and abundance of beads and trinkets associated with Gasparilla Festival activities in the area.
When all was said and done, nearly 100 pounds of beads and 70 pounds of trash were collected along a stretch of the channel that covered approximately 1,000 feet along and about 75 feet out from the seawall.
