Zibel thanked all those involved during last Saturday’s clean-up, including 60+ dive, snorkel and coastal volunteers. “It’s great seeing such diverse turnouts month over month, not to mention the Systems of Knowledge students who’ve been with us all throughout the year,” they said in their post to socials.
