San Marcos residents and Texas State students can now enjoy a cleaner river experience, thanks to the efforts of local volunteer organizations. Here's Tanner Murphy with the story.
Tubing is a favorite pastime of San Marcos locals, but there are some whose love of the river goes above and beyond floating. Organizations like the Mermaid Society and San Marcos Lions Club strive to ensure that the San Marcos River remains beautiful. This past Sunday they sponsored the Mermaid Roundup River and Park Clean Up.

Some volunteers walked along the river banks and picked up litter while others dived to the bottom of the riverbed to retrieve sunken debris. A few volunteers even wore mermaid tails as a celebration of the two-week-long San Marcos Mermaid SPLASH Festival. July Moreno, founder of the Mermaid Society of San Marcos, says that every volunteer is valuable and no contribution is too small.
