Come and help clean trash and debris from the Blackthorn Memorial Park near the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The Tampa Bay Estuary Program will be working with Keep Pinellas Beautiful for this workday.
The USCGC Blackthorn was a 180-ft. vessel that sank just off the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in 1980.
This location collects quite a bit of trash and debris, so come out and enjoy the wonderful views of the bay while cleaning up.
All volunteers will receive lunch.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program is to build partnerships to restore and protect Tampa Bay through implementation of a scientifically sound, community-based management plan.
Description
The Tampa Bay Estuary Program was created by Congress in 1991 to assist the community in restoring and protecting Florida's largest open-water estuary. As a designated "estuary of national significance," Tampa Bay is the economic and environmental centerpiece of a rapidly growing region supporting more than 2.3 million people.
The bay is also home to an impressive variety of animals, from spectacular wading birds to gentle manatees to prized sportfish like snook and tarpon.
After decades of decline, Tampa Bay has made a remarkable comback in recent years, with impressive gains in water quality, seagrass recovery and fish and wildlife populations.
