CONCH REPUBLIC MARINE ARMY
Big Pine Key, FL
The Conch Republic Marine Army was initially formed as a volunteer organization to address the devastation left from Irma. Using kayaks, canoes and manual labor, they have removed 309,389 documented pounds of debris. But sadly, that grand total is from only a few miles of shoreline. There is an estimated two million pounds of debris in the Florida Keys to remove. And that’s if nothing else comes along and adds to the total. They need more volunteers, donors and sponsors to make a difference. We’re on board to help. Will you too?
