Gulf Shores-based Eco Clean Marine, a nonprofit advocate for waterway conservation and cleanliness, has won a national award by Iconic USA. Eco Clean Marine has grown quickly in the last two years and indicates that the award recognizes its dedication to environmental literacy, community engagement in conservation efforts and leadership in initiatives aimed at safeguarding marine and aquatic ecosystems. The ICON 2024 Award honors regional nonprofits for their commitment to overcoming environmental challenges and inspiring change. Eco Clean Marine has also announced the addition of five new sponsors, Riviera Utilities, Living My Best Life Realty, Legacy Window Films, Tiki International Fun Group and Florida Metal Works. The nonprofit says this “bolsters its capacity to host more events, contribute significantly to educational efforts and inspire young minds toward conservation.” It plans to enhance its mission through expanded community engagement and increased educational outreach.
