On September 19 the Ocean Conservancy is having an International Coastal Cleanup!
The efforts of volunteers are crucial to the success of the Cleanup. Last year alone, nearly 400,000 people from 104 countries and locations joined together to clear 6.8 million pounds of trash from our ocean and waterways. By joining the fight against the rising tide of ocean debris, you are helping address the most pervasive, but solvable, pollution problems facing the ocean today. We will be having a beach cleanup at Amelia Island Plantation, call us at (904)321-5082 for more details. If you cannot be there, please consider participating in a location near you. http://www.oceanconservancy.org/site/PageServer?pagename=icc_about

Right whales can reach over 50 feet long and have their babies (called calves) off the coast of Georgia and Florida from December - March every year. We've spotted mother/calf pairs from the beach at Amelia Island Plantation. To find out more about right whales while playing a fun game, see the following link:
