Trash Begone!

The clean-up this weekend in Fredericksburg was a huge success thanks to our wonderful volunteers. We'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all who came out and devoted their Saturday morning to the clean-up. You rock. Every single one of you. 

ACA volunteers trump trash. 

Protect the Rapp From Marine Debris

Fast fact: 
Approximately 6.14 million tons of debris enter marine environments each year, and 80% of it originates as land-based trash.
