FGCU & Bay Water teaming up with a British university in an effort to clean Estero Bay
Bay Water Boat Club & FGCU partnered with students from Bangor University in Wales for their first annual Estero bay clean-up.
Students collected fishing lines, plastic, hooks, and other materials toxic to the manatee, dolphin, birds, and fish species living in the bay.
“If they get tangled in it, it can strangle them, it can hinder them from getting away so that they can eat, so they can fly, ” said Helen Noble, and FGCU community engagement specialist.
