Tampa Bay's Ghost Trap Rodeo

Ocean Aid 360 presents The Ghost Trap Rodeo's Tampa Bay Home Coming!

On Saturday, July 17, 2021 the Ghost Trap Rodeo is coming home to Tampa Bay! The FREE event - to find and remove derelict crab traps and other forms of marine litter - will be held simultaneously at six public boat ramps (Fort DeSoto, Gandy Bridge, Courtney Campbell Causeway, Belleair Causeway, Warner's Bayou, Williams Park) between 9am and 1pm on Saturday, July 17. Upon arrival, participants will check in, receive individualized swag bags, t-shirts, Rodeo supplies, and basic search instructions (baitfish traps must be left in place). Supplies will consist of a gelcoat safety blanket, gloves, tin snips, burlap sacks for small debris, and more. After the completion of the four-hour search, participants will return to their selected event launch site for debris offloading and sorting, and a free lunch catered by local restaurants.
