RYE—
Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation is hosting its first monthly cleanup of 2011 on Saturday, January 8 at 10:30 a.m. at Jenness Beach in Rye.
Blue Ocean Society staff and public volunteers have been cleaning Jenness Beach every month, year round for almost 10 years with support from the New Hampshire Coastal Program. During the cleanups, which take 1-2 hours, trash is picked up and volunteers record their findings on data cards as part of the Society’s efforts to study litter on our coasts. At the cleanup, volunteers can also enjoy hot beverages.
Cleanups usually take 1-2 hours and include a brief orientation. All supplies will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own work or winter gloves (to minimize the use of disposables) and wear sturdy shoes for safety.
The Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation is a Portsmouth, NH-based non-profit organization that was established in fall 2000. The Society’s goal is to inspire passion in people to conserve the marine environment, and it does that through organizing beach cleanups, studying whales and conducting educational programs. Funding for the Society’s beach cleanups comes from the New Hampshire Coastal Program/New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, the NOAA Marine Debris Program and private donations.
