Saturday Sept. 21 you can join with Save the Sound and the Ocean Conservancy to keep Long Island Sound’s beaches and waterways clean.
It’s the 28th Annual International Coastal Cleanup(ICC) and will include several cleanups throughout the months of September and October.
In 2012, more than 500,00 volunteers in the ICC program picked up 10 million pounds of trash! Thousands of people in our area helped clean up some 57 miles of beaches and riverfronts along Long Island Sound.
