Annisquam Village Church Beach Cleanup

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

From The One Hour at a Time Gang post on Good Morning Gloucester:

I just learned about your beach cleanups from a church member. We were discussing a Beach Cleanup and Gathering that the Interfaith Group of the Cape Ann Climate Coalition will be holding on Earth Day – Friday, April 22nd.  Here is a description:

Gather at noon at Good Harbor Beach to hold up gratitude for the Earth that sustains us, to hold space for grief due to the effects of climate change on people and eco-systems, and to nurture hope for positive action together.  The gathering will be preceded by an optional beach clean-up at 11:15—bring gloves if you have them.  For more information, contact the Rev. Sue Koehler-Arseneault at capeannrevsue@gmail.com or the Rev. Lise Hldebrandt at lise@stjohnsgloucester.org.  Please join us!

Thanks for the good work you are doing! Please feel free to share this announcement with anyone you know who might be interested.

PIPING PLOVERS AND SANDY POINT BEACH NEEDS HELP! -By Kim Smith

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The storm devastation at Sandy Point Beach on Plum Island is alarming. The thing is, exactly where the debris pile-up is the densest, is precisely where the Piping Plovers nest. These photos were taken several weeks ago, and the mass of garbage has only grown greater with two subsequent storms. 

From PRNWR, “Although the refuge isn’t hosting a spring beach cleanup this year, Sandy Point State Reservation is! Join DCR on April 7th to clean up the southern tip of the island. Parking is limited, so carpooling from the refuge Visitor Center is encouraged.”

Rolling up their sleeves 88 weekends in a row. From Clean Up Versova twitter feed @Versovabeach: “Afroz Shah and Versova Resident Volunteers, a citizen led initiative committed to clean up Versova Beach, Mumbai. No political affiliations whatsoever.” 

Residents, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) workers, and BMC heavy duty construction equipment and vehicles carted the trash to landfills (Deonar, Mulund, Kanjurmarg) which are at capacity struggling with waste management. The United Nations deemed it the “world’s largest beach clean-up project”.
