Dive For Debris
Gulf State Park Pier offers so many unique adventures for anglers and sightseers. It is a favorite spot for watching the sunrise or sunset, observing wildlife, eating dinner, or even catching dinner! As anglers take their places to reel in the biggest catches, often fishing line, weights, and other debris gets tangled among the pilings. Sometimes, cups, bait containers, and the occasional cell phone may drop into the water. We want to do our part help clean it up!
Come and join us for our 3rd Dive for Debris Underwater Cleanup. We are partnering with Down Under Dive Shop and Red Flag Surf & Dive to make this event safe and successful! The pier will be open for sightseers, but fishing will be postponed from 8:00 AM until noon, or until the cleanup is finished (whichever comes first.)
Sunday, April 16, 2023 from 8:00am – noon.
In the event of Foul Weather, the dive may be postponed to Sunday Sunday, April 30th.
