Sarasota Bay Watch Co-President Larry Stults.
The town of Longboat Key some two decades ago bought a couple of islands in Sarasota Bay. A group of volunteers with the Sarasota Bay Watch have been cleaning it ever since.
About 60 people gathered Saturday at the Mar Vista docks with one objective: clean up Sister Keys. After a short information session about how to stay safe on the island, a horde of watercraft, including a barge, kayaks and fishing boats, transported all the volunteers to the islands.
"This is our chance to keep this place the emerald gem that it is," said Sarasota Bay Watch Co-President Larry Stults.
