The EBS crew cleans from land to sea! We understand that land-based pollution significantly threatens the waterways they aim to protect.

Clearing up land pollution reduces the impact on the receiving water stream and instills a sense of local community pride. That’s why EBS has partnered with the city of Mandeville and the Keep Mandeville Beautiful Organization to “Adopt A Spot” on the stunning Mandeville Lakefront.
