Verme has made trips to Tallahassee to support the non-profit, which advocates for the elimination of large-scale Lake Okeechobee discharges into the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie River Estuaries.

Our chamber, as well as our community, Verme said, have really stepped forward in going up to Washington.

Verme told WINK News that the launch on Friday, coinciding with a visit by Vice President Mike Pence, is a happy accident. She said it would be wonderful for him to stop by as he is a great supporter.

Gloria Garrett, a huge supporter of Captains for Clean Water, said the heart of the island depends on having clean water. She said clean water is vital to the economy. It affects the Everglades and healthy estuaries.

What Id like to say to Vice President Mike Pence, Verme said, is come on down come on down and have some dolphin tracks!
