Join the Blue Moon Crew for a day to Beautifying our waterways. Blue Moon Kayak has always shown our love for our waterways and this location is no different! We are always looking for additional help to clean up our local waters. Here is your chance to help make an impact on your vacation by looking closely in the water, in the mangroves, and on the beaches. Everyone can make a difference by spending a little time of their day picking up one - two - three or more pieces of plastic. We will educate you on the different types of debris we find, and how long each takes to decompose in our natural environment, and what impacts they have to our local flora and fauna. Note: This is a tour and clean up excursion, but knowledge is the goal and purpose, not distance so it is great for all skill levels.
