Help Protect Our Mangroves
Join us for a meaningful day on the water as the Key West Aquarium proudly sponsors a mangrove clean-up alongside the Conch Republic Marine Army. This public event invites our community to come together and help remove debris from one of the most important ecosystems in the Florida Keys.
Founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, the Conch Republic Marine Army began as a grassroots effort to clean up local mangroves and has grown into a powerful nonprofit movement with thousands of volunteers and hundreds of tons of debris removed. Their mission is simple but impactful: to clean, protect, and restore the marine habitats that make the Keys so special.
By participating, guests will not only make a direct impact on our local environment but also gain a deeper appreciation for the vital role mangroves play in protecting marine life and coastal communities. Come be part of the effort and help us keep the Keys beautiful for generations to come.
Visit the Conch Republic Marine Army to get involved!
