MIAMI, July 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Point Marina is the first harbor in Florida to join the Fishing for Energy initiative. On July 16th, volunteers in kayaks, canoes, and flat boats will hunt for and collect derelict crab pots at sea to be placed in a Fishing for Energy disposal bin back on land. Gear collected at the harbor will be stripped of metals for recycling with the help of Schnitzer Steel and processed into clean, renewable energy at the Miami-Dade County Resources Recovery Facility, an Energy-from-Waste facility operated by Covanta Energy. In addition to this special cleanup effort to be held at "Shrimper's Row" at Black Point Marina, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a grant will be awarded to the University of Florida and the Florida Sea Grant Program to be used to remove more derelict fishing gear from the waters surrounding Miami-Dade County for $14,775.
