Taking matters into their hands: Boatworks cleans up

The residents of the Boatworks community took matters into their own hands and removed the garbage, plastics and other marine debris that continuously litter the waterfront.

Michele Grusser a resident of the Boatworks community organized the initiative in celebration of Earth Day. Mayor Davis and other City officials visited to support the community’s effort.

The Boatworks community hopes to make the river bank clean up a regular exercise. The debris flows in with the tide and remains behind, a constant reminder of how littering in other communities impact other areas and the environment.
