Save the Sound Receives Corporate Support for Coastal Cleanup
Corporate support is an important part of our Coastal Cleanup Program. By partnering with local businesses, we have more resources to help organize volunteer coastal cleanup events around Long Island Sound. Corporate partnerships also allow us to introduce their employees to our organization and get them more involved in helping to protect the Sound.
2012 Coastal Cleanup Data is in!
Save the Sound’s coastal cleanup season has ended and we just finished tallying up our data for the year. It was a great year thanks to our wonderful volunteers.
Cleaning Up After Sandy
On Monday, Save the Sound and Bank of America partnered together to help repair Silver Sands State Park in Milford. The Silver Sands area was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy—some residents even lost their homes. Within the park, the recently-built boardwalk was destroyed, and large quantities of hazardous waste (paints, oils, bleach) washed up on the shore.
Superstorm Sandy: Recovery Resources
Hurricane Sandy brought tremendous devastation to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Millions of residents of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey are without power, and many are dealing with severe damage to their homes from storm surge flooding, wind, fire, or fallen trees.
