The Marco Sportfishing Club held its December monthly member meeting on Thursday, December 5, 2024, with special guest speaker Captain Chris Wittman, Co-Founder of Captains For Clean Water. Captains For Clean Water is a grassroots 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that fights to restore and protect our water resources. As stated on the Captains For Clean Water website “Through our Advocacy, Education, and Outreach programs, we engage our supporters to advance science-based solutions that solve Florida’s water mismanagement and safeguard our way of life for future generations. These programs directly support our three key areas of focus and encompass a variety of opportunities for supporters to make a difference in the fight for Florida’s water quality.” The three areas of focus are Everglades Restoration, Nutrient Pollution, and Water Policy.
As a token of their appreciation for speaking at the meeting and for the incredible work Captains For Clean Water has done and continues to do, tirelessly driving action and accountability for water quality within our state and federal government, the Marco Sportfishing Club donated the proceeds from a charter fishing trip raffle and the meeting 50/50 to Captains For Clean Water.
