Conch Republic Marine Army

Welcome to the Conch Republic Marine Army. 
A grassroots, volunteer organization dedicated to the cleanup and restoration of the mangrove habitats of the Florida Keys. 

We run weekly volunteer trips out of 2 locations, Marathon on Wednesday and Saturday and Stock Island/Key West on Saturday’s. Each trip has everything provided to return home with hundreds if not thousands of pounds in a single trip. 

Since the CRMA’s start in 2017 more than 5,910 volunteers have offered their time and passion cleaning up the mangroves.

As of June 30, 2025 the CRMA and its volunteers have collected: 579,230 pounds of debris.  That’s 290 tons! That includes 3,401,400 feet of trap line removed from the mangroves (that’s 644 miles) and 103 refrigerators!
