Love Blue FGCU
🌎 Welcome to Love Blue FGCU — Where Passion Meets Purpose! 🌊
At Love Blue FGCU, we’re more than just a club — we’re a community of driven students on a mission to protect and preserve the beautiful beaches that make our home so special. As proud members of the national Love Blue movement, we roll up our sleeves and dive into action with beach cleanups, eco-awareness campaigns, and local initiatives that inspire real change.
Every cleanup is more than picking up trash — it’s a chance to connect, make an impact, and create lasting memories with people who care about the planet as much as you do.
Whether you’re passionate about positive environmental impact, want to meet new friends, or just love the idea of giving back while soaking up the sun, your journey starts here.

Safety is a priority when engaging in experiential service-learning opportunities. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes, bring a reusable filled water bottle, and use sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, etc.). Meet us at FGCU’s Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS MOD) Why Cleaning Up and Preventing Litter Is So Important: Not only can litter be unsightly, but much of the litter is made of plastic that does not biodegrade – it only breaks down into smaller bits of plastic that eventually washes out to our waterways via stormwater. Preventing litter is especially important here on campus because FGCU is located on a regional, interconnected watershed system that spills into the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve and joins the Gulf waters. Preventing litter and pollution helps make sure that our waterways remain clean to protect the environment and wildlife. It also keeps our stormwater system from clogging, which helps prevent flooding. How to use the Litterati app to record data during the clean-up: Step 1 Download the Litterati app to your phone or device before arriving to the event Step 2 Join the FGCU Respect the Nest Challenge by using code: BLUE Step 3 Take a photo of litter where it is found, tag it (with object, material, and brand) and properly dispose of any litter you find.
