SEA ISLE CITY – On Oct. 12, the Sea Isle City Environmental Commission will host their annual Autumn Beach Clean-up and Dune Grass Planting event between 10:00 a.m. and 12 noon along each of Sea Isle’s beaches, 1st Street through Townsend Inlet. Families, individuals, civic groups, scout troops and all other volunteers are invited to participate in this important environmental event.
During the Beach Clean-up, volunteers will collect trash and debris from the sand while documenting what type of items they find. That data will later be sent to Clean Ocean Action, an environmental organization that strives to protect New Jersey’s waterways.
Meanwhile, as Sea Isle City’s beaches are being cleaned, other volunteers will plant dune grass up-and-down the shoreline, which will strengthen the island’s dunes and protect the beaches from erosion.
Pre-registration is not required to participate in this event. Volunteers are asked to register on the day of the Clean-UP at JFK Boulevard and the Promenade, where Environmental Commission members will distribute trash bags and other supplies. Volunteers wishing to plant dune grass are welcome to bring their own small gardening tools.
The rain date for Sea Isle’s 2013 Autumn Beach Clean-up and Dune Grass Planting is Oct. 13. For additional information please phone (609) 263-2081.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
