Anchor and debris clean-up in the Florida Keys

Much success was had in our Anchor clean up of Crocker Reef. Crocker reef is located just off shore in Islamorada (Florida Keys). Its a very popular fishing spot and anchors get fouled up often in the beautiful corals. So the Islamorada Dive Center along with support from the REEF Foundation in Key Largo, brought up 12 anchors loaded with chain and line, totaling and estimated 600lbs. Numerous other items were cleaned off the reefs as well. Please contact Islamorada Dive Center for or next clean up in May!

Having trouble creating a "clean-up" event...need help!

I own a dive center in the Florida Keys and want to put together a reef clean up event. But I can't seem to find where you create this in Project Aware? We have a tremendous amount of monofilament here, being the fishing capital of the world?" , and I want to rid the reefs of some of it, among other trash...any help with this site would be appreciative.
