KAYAK-A-THON 2007
This was an
adventurous 14 mile trip down the Intra-coastal from West Palm Beach
to Lake Worth
 |
This year the
beneficiary of the event was the
Palm Beach County Reef Rescue
-
http://www.reef-rescue.org.
They are custodians of our local reefs, ocean, and waterways. Formed
by a group of local divers in 2003 and regularly recruiting science
professionals in various fields of knowledge for their volunteer
input, PBCRR conducts studies on
and finds solutions to coral reef diseases and effects from sewage outfall, dredging, and
fertilizer runoff. They also stand up against activities and
development that does not adhere to EPA standards that are set forth
to allow such development.
|
We raised enough money to fund 5 of
their 12 projects for the entire year:
