Volunteers at the recent South Beach clean-up. Submitted Photos
During the monthly beach clean-ups about 80% of what volunteers pick up are plastic products. The BAC is pushing hard to reduce the amount of plastic on Marco’s beaches. If it was up to the BAC, all businesses, hotels, restaurants and vendors adjacent to the beach would not include or offer disposable plastic beverage cup lids and straws when serving beverages to patrons or customers on or adjacent to the beach.

Katie O’Hara, known as the “straw lady,” supports eliminating the use of plastic straws from Marco’s beaches.
