Cleaning Florida's waterways and natural lands since 1993

Studies show that 80% of marine debris originates from freshwater systems. As a peninsula, it's critical that Florida's upland and upstream communities play a significant part in pollution prevention and reduction. Removing debris preserves critical wildlife habitat by preventing leaching of chemicals, toxins, and microplastics into surface waters and further, into our tributaries, river systems, and Aquifer.

As the only freshwater debris removal nonprofit in the Southeast, Current Problems has the unique opportunity to help in local areas where water resources are highly impacted by discarded waste. We hope that by focusing on projects that most impact the health of habitat and water quality, and by encouraging individuals to consider their impact on habitats downstream from their communities, our work will eliminate the need for itself. Until then, we will continue to develop sustainable infrastructure for communities to repurpose and recycle commonly dumped waste.

We are building our programs and organization to serve more river basins in the South and share our legacy, lessons, and success.

Our focus and priority in all its work is stewardship- of its volunteers and of the watersheds it protects.
