CLEAN-UPS & RESULTS
The International Coastal Cleanup at Weekapaug Breachway was a success!
On September 18th, students of the Westerly High School Environmental Club picked up 50 pounds of ugly and dangerous shoreline trash. We scoured parking lots; we climbed over and into rocks; we walked paths and dunes; over 1 1/2 miles! We recorded what we found with the Cleanswell app to see what are the largest components entering our marine areas so it can be included in the Ocean Conservancy's annual report on marine debris.
