On Sunday morning, dozens of volunteers cleaned the lakefront as part of the statewide ‘Love Our Waterways’ initiative organized by the Coastal Conservation Association and Woodside Energy, aiming to reduce litter that washes into local waterways and eventually reaches the Gulf while lowering cleanup costs for taxpayers.
