Halmos College Students, Faculty, and Staff Participate in Beach Cleanup

This fall, Halmos College students, faculty, and staff worked out of two locations to help with the Broward County Beach Cleanup. Over the course of a Saturday morning, the two sites supported by Halmos College were at the Marine Environmental Education Center (MEEC) and the Von D. Mizell and Eula Johnson State Park. The students at these locations coordinated volunteers and collected data regarding the amount of trash picked up off their beaches.

Those two sites collected over 1000 pounds of trash, including bicycles, flip flops, balloons, and a lot of cans. To bring awareness to the need for continuing beach clean ups, the not-for-profit group Free Our Seas and Beyond created an art shark full of cans found during the clean-up. It can be seen at the MEEC.
