LONGBOAT KEY, Fla. (WWSB) - Tourist from all over the world and residents of the Suncoast flock to our local beaches to enjoy the white sands and the aqua green water. However, as more visitors come to our beaches, there has been an increase in garbage and debris left behind. Residents in the upper north end of Longboat Key have become quite disappointed in the lack of care for keeping the beaches clean. This led a group of those residents to create a pilot program where they plan to walk the shore and clean up left behind garbage and debris.
