First OAPB Fishing Foundation Canal Clean-up


 

We are excited to announce that we held our first OAPB Canal Clean-up on behalf of OAPB Fishing Foundation on Saturday, July 15!

Here is the impact we had by the numbers:

  • 13 boats 
  • 51 people 
  • 24 bags of trash collected

We not only cleaned the canals in Pompano Beach, we were able to extend the clean-up from Lauderdale by the Sea up to Lighthouse Point!

A big thank you goes out to our sponsors who provided our supplies and raffle prizes:

  • City of Pompano Beach (a special thank you to Commissioner Alison Fournier who joined us!)
  • Loucks Engineering
  • Sea Tow of Fort Lauderdale
  • Gallagher (Insurance/Risk Management/Consulting)

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, especially the boat captains who volunteered their boats.  It was a group effort and we had a GREAT group of people!

Looking forward to the next one!
