Join the St. Croix East End Marine Park to clean up Altona Lagoon.

Friday May 14, from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM AST
Friday May 14, from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM AST (Friends of St Croix East End Marine Park)

ST. CROIX, USVI — The Friends of St Croix East End Marine Park are hosting a slew of outdoor activities this month. Join them this Friday, May 14, from 8:30 -11:30am and help clean up Altona Lagoon.

Altona Lagoon is an important nursery habitat for many species of fish, several of which are commercially important. Altona is also a popular spot for families to swim and fish. Plus it's the primary hub for transport to and from Buck Island.

Unfortunately, the frequent visitors have taken a toll and the mangroves are littered with tires and trash. So come out tomorrow and help return Altona to its natural beauty.
