30 at Hallock State Park Preserve in Riverhead NY, hosted by New York Sea Grant and the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society. “They also help people focus on doable actions that we can all undertake with as much or as little effort as we have time to commit.”Ī mid-campaign beach cleanup will be held on Aug.
“Campaigns like this one help keep people aware of the larger marine debris problem affecting Long Island Sound,” said Nancy Balcom, associate director of Connecticut Sea Grant. Social media posts will emphasize positive steps people are taking to address the problem. The theme of this year’s campaign, #DoOneThing, encourages people to take at least one action to reduce litter on streets, parks and beaches before it gets carried into waterways and ultimately Long Island Sound. It will consist of cleanup events in both states, social media posts and giveaways of “Protect Our Wildlife” stickers for reusable water bottles and travel mugs. The 2021 #DontTraskLISound campaign, run by the Connecticut and New York Sea Grant programs with support from the Long Island Sound Study, will run through International Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept.
