JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. -- Keepers of the Coast, a local non-profit dedicated to promoting coastal stewardship and the conservation of coastal habitat, and Volcom are recruiting volunteers for the Summer Daze Beach Clean-Up Series beginning on Friday, June 29th.

This community-wide effort will be held at the Jacksonville Beach Pier, located at 501 1st Street North in Jacksonville Beach from 5pm to 7pm. This four-date series will continue on Thursday, July 5th at five St. Johns County beach locations, and then again on Friday July 13th and 20th back in Jacksonville Beach. The purpose of these clean-up efforts is to restore the coastline following the impacts of tourism and an increase in traffic during the summer time. No pre-registration is required and all participants will be given a bag for trash, a bag of recycling and a bag for cigarette butts.

FLORIDA -- The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) reminds Florida’s residents and visitors to remain aware of current weather situations this holiday weekend, as a storm system may bring heavy rainfall across much of the Sunshine State. Potential flooding conditions will affect Southeast Florida through this evening. This threat could shift northward to portions of the Northern Peninsula later this weekend as the system nears this area of the state. This same system could bring strong onshore winds, which may lead to rough surf, large breaking waves and a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic Coast through next week.
