NOTE 1: The HMB Sargassum Project aims to raise 70% of the required funding from property owners in the "High Impact Zone” (HIZ) along the southern and central beachfront. We aim to raise the remaining 30% from friends & neighbors who love our unique community and want to help us protect our local marine life and pristine beaches.​
​
NOTE 2: Funds raised on this website WILL NOT be applied to the cost of barrier maintenance.
Operational expenses will be invoiced separately to property owners in the HIZ​
as an alternative to the manual beach removal services they already pay for.
