Clearwater Beach FL Goes Green | Blue Wave Protects Beaches
Clearwater Beach FL | Protecting our Beaches with Eco-Friendly Programs
Clean Beaches Council is a not-for-profit organization that has been around since 1998. The created America's first environmental certification program for our beach - the Blue Wave Campaign. This supports the many eco friendly initiatives in Pinellas County as we work to be more Green.
The Blue Wave Campaign's goal is to promote public awareness and a community partnership that involves a voluntary pledge and voluntary participation towards taking care of our beach along with responsible beach management.
In Tampa Bay Florida and especially on Clearwater Beach, tourism is our major industry and plays a vital role to our local economy. We're not alone, the Clean Beaches Council explains that our United States beaches and coastal areas "offer unique recreation, support maritime commerce and provide jobs for coastal communities. In fact, beach tourism contributes over $640 billion annually to the US Economy (85% of all tourist revenue)"
In the last 10 years there have been over 20,000 health advisories issued relating to water quality in the United States and here in the Tampa Bay area we are only too familiar with the additional impacts of storms and new construction on beach erosion. Every year miles of beaches are lost to beach erosion.
We've loved living on our beautiful Pinellas Gulf beaches and we've also seen many changes over the last 18 years. With more properties on the beaches and more people visiting our beaches it takes even more effort to ensure that we embrace "low impact" living and work to ensure sustainable beaches.
I believe now is the time to commit to working together: Pinellas County government + Our Beach Communities + National Parks + Residents + Tourist to preserve our local economy and more importantly for our kids - YOU and the Blue Wave Campaign can help! In other articles we detailed the:

Cyndee and Jack, your beaches sound wonderful! I am a long way from them in Colorado, but we have lots of people from Florida here in the summer, and then they go back to their Clearwater home in the winter. Not a bad way to live!

Cyndee, When you live in a beach community like Clearwater, FL, taking care of the beach should be just as important as taking care of your home. I am so glad to see that the residents of Clearwater work hard to keep their beaches clean.

Clean Beaches means so much more than just the joy of not seeing the trash - if only people understood what those debris can and are doing to the sea life and the earth. Loved reading about what other areas are doing to be a little greener.

It takes all of us to keep our natural resources for future generations. Good to see what Clearwater residents are doing for the beaches in FL.
