Summer Siren Duty
CALLING ALL RIVER GUARDIANS!
Join Siren Duty with the Mermaid Society of Texas!
Do you love the San Marcos River? Want to help protect this magical, living treasure? Now’s your chance to make a SPLASH this summer!
The Mermaid Society is seeking volunteers to become Advocates and Ambassadors of the San Marcos River by signing up for Siren Duty — a powerful way to educate and inspire river visitors to Love the River Like a Local!
What is Summer Siren Duty?
Mermaid Society’s Summer Siren Duty is a seasonal eco-stewardship campaign that activates volunteers to serve as ambassadors and advocates for the San Marcos River and the Mermaid Capital of Texas. Led by the AquaReina Team, these passionate volunteers—known as “Sirens”—engage with river-goers during the busy summer months, offering friendly reminders and sharing important environmental messaging.
By blending hospitality with stewardship, Summer Siren Duty helps preserve the beauty of the San Marcos River while fostering a fun, respectful, and eco-conscious river experience for all.
As a Siren, you’ll:
Greet visitors with a smile and river-loving spirit
Remind them to use the litter bags provided on their Lions Club tubes
Educate them about the City’s Reuse at the River Ordinance (no cans or plastic in the water!)
Share the story of the endangered and sacred Texas Wild Rice
Represent the Mermaid Capital of Texas with pride and purpose
Best of all - HAVE FUN!
When?
Summer Siren Duty runs Memorial Weekend – August 31st
Shifts are just 3 hours
Available Monday through Sunday
Where?
We aim to be present at Rio Vista and Lions Tube Rental.
Whether you join us for one day or all summer, your time helps protect one of Texas’ most precious ecosystems.
Ready to be a land mermaid (or Aquaman!)?

Together, let’s make a difference — one visitor, one shift, one ripple at a time.
