Leave No Trace Hot Spot activities set for the Florida Keys

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Leave No Trace invite resource managers, volunteers, and the recreational/tourism sector to tackle issues such as marine debris and water quality using facilitated workshops, community service projects, and outreach focused on ensuring a healthy ecosystem.

The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics selected Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary as its first offshore Hot Spot. The Hot Spots program identifies areas suffering from the severe impacts of outdoor activities that can thrive again with Leave No Trace solutions.

Workshops and marine debris cleanups are planned on February 21 in Key Largo and on February 24 in Key West. There is also a workshop on February 23 in Marathon.
