The Litter Gitter is a program of Matanzas Riverkeeper that takes members of our community out on the river to remove trash from our waterways and to learn about the issues surrounding marine debris and litter. The namesake of the program is the Litter Gitter II: a bright yellow, 24- foot Carolina skiff, specially equipped for removing large volumes of trash from our waterways. Over the past five years, hundreds of volunteers have removed over 45,000 pounds of trash from our local waterways through the Litter Gitter program. So far, we have relied on the generosity of our volunteers to help us launch the boat and pull her out of the water, but now we need to buy a truck to help us tow her and expand our reach in our watershed. Our goal is to raise $30,000 by the end of the year to buy a truck to tow the Litter Gitter.
