Join us for free community screening of the eye-opening eco-documentary Stink!, a film that exposes the toxic chemicals and carcinogens legally concealed in everyday consumer products. Following the screening, stick around for a panel discussion, featuring our Riverkeeper Jen Lomberk. The conversation will explore how chemical pollution enters our ecosystem and the broader impacts on environmental and public health. Matanzas Riverkeeper will be on- site with a vendor booth — stop by to learn more about our work protecting the Matanzas River watershed.

Genung's Fish Camp
The Litter Gitter program, an initiative by Matanzas Riverkeeper, engages community members in hands-on efforts to clean our waterways and educate them about marine debris and litter issues. The namesake of the program is the Litter Gitter II, a bright yellow, 24-foot Carolina skiff designed for efficient removal of large volumes of debris. Through this program, we aim to keep our local waterways clean and healthy, while offering volunteers a rewarding opportunity to make a tangible impact.
RSVP for May's Public Litter Gitter trip here.

Genung's Fish Camp
Join Matanzas Riverkeeper and Waterkeeper Alliance, in partnership with Surfrider, Oceana, and Environment America, for the second Annual International Plastic Pellet Count. Throughout the month of May, volunteers around the world will collect plastic pellets to help document pre-production plastic pollution and improve understanding of where it is found. We'll be headed out on the Litter Gitter to target "nurdles", or plastic pellets, in effort to document their presence within our waterways.
RSVP for the International Plastic Pellet Count Litter Gitter trip here.
