  • Eco Clean Marine Makes Waves at The Boardwalk with Record-Breaking Trash Pick-Up Event

    Fort Walton Beach, FL – On a sunny Saturday morning, September 21st, 2024, The Boardwalk in Fort Walton turned into the epicenter of eco-friendly action as Eco Clean Marine hosted an incredible trash pick-up event. The community showed up in full force, with 300 enthusiastic volunteers gathering in just two hours to rid the beach of harmful litter. Armed with buckets, gloves, and plenty of determination, these environmental champions managed to collect 15 five-gallon buckets of trash, all while having a blast!

    The event kicked off with smiles, high-fives, and a collective mission to give back to our oceans and marine life. From families with kids to local businesses and environmental activists, everyone came together for a single purpose: cleaner beaches and healthier seas. Laughter, teamwork, and a bit of friendly competition were in the air as volunteers scoured the shoreline, removing debris ranging from plastic bottles to forgotten beach toys.

    Courtney Dombroski, founder and CEO of Eco Clean Marine, said, “It’s always amazing to see so many people care about the same mission. Today wasn’t just about cleaning up the beach—it was about building a community that values marine life and the environment. The energy was unbelievable!”

    The result? Fifteen full buckets of trash removed, leaving the shoreline noticeably cleaner. Eco Clean Marine’s commitment to preserving marine life and keeping local waters pristine was once again reinforced, and they couldn’t have done it without the amazing turnout.

    Making It Fun for All Ages

    What made this event stand out was how fun it was! Volunteers didn’t just feel good about helping the environment—they genuinely enjoyed themselves. Kids raced to fill their buckets, friends worked in teams to cover as much ground as possible, and even a few impromptu dance breaks happened under the warm sun. The atmosphere was electric, proving that taking care of the planet can be both rewarding and fun.

    A Step Towards a Cleaner Future

    Eco Clean Marine’s mission is to clean the ocean and protect marine life one trash pick-up at a time. This weekend’s event was a reminder of how much can be accomplished when communities unite for a common cause. The organization looks forward to hosting more events, with hopes to continue growing this movement of environmental stewardship.
