Fort Walton Beach, FL – November 06, 2024 – Eco Clean Marine wrapped up an action-packed Halloween weekend with a spooktacular community effort to clean up the Okaloosa Boardwalk in Fort Walton Beach! Over 30 volunteers joined forces on October 26 for the "Keep Okaloosa Beautiful" Halloween Trash Pickup, making a monstrous impact on the local environment.
With a vibe that was as festive as it was productive, 31 volunteers showed up in full force, rolling up their sleeves for a two-hour trash pick-up event. Together, they filled 35 5-gallon buckets with debris, from plastic bottles to rogue candy wrappers (Halloween treats, not tricks!).
Not only did they clear the boardwalk, but they also cleared the way for a cleaner, more sustainable environment for our marine life. With Eco Clean Marine leading the charge, this event was all about fun, teamwork, and making a real difference in keeping Okaloosa County beautiful.
Courtney Dombroski, founder of Eco Clean Marine, couldn’t be more proud: "Halloween is a time for fun, but it’s also a perfect reminder of how we can come together to take care of our environment. We’re thrilled to have had so many enthusiastic volunteers help us remove trash that could otherwise harm marine life. What better way to celebrate the season than by making the world a little cleaner?"
The volunteer turnout was a real treat, with people of all ages participating and some even getting into the Halloween spirit with costumes. From spooky witches to creepy crawlers, the event had a fun and festive atmosphere as everyone worked hard to collect trash and ensure a cleaner future for the waters that surround Okaloosa County.
Eco Clean Marine would like to thank all volunteers who came out and helped make a positive impact. With their help, the "Keep Okaloosa Beautiful" Halloween Trash Pickup was a major success! The next clean-up event is already in the works, and Eco Clean Marine is excited to continue building a network of passionate volunteers committed to preserving the beauty of our local beaches and waters.
