Coastal Steward cleans up after Super Storm Sandy

The Coastal Steward, a not for profit environmental organization based out of Port Jefferson removed 5.56 tons of debris from the Mt. Sinai harbor (Pt. Jeff side), and Centennial Park beach in January.

There were 99 volunteers from the local schools and girl scouts who came to help make a difference while earning community service credit.

Legislator Kara Hahn came to help out and the cleanups were sponsored by the villages of Port Jefferson and Belle Terre. We are always looking for volunteers. If you are interested in learning more about the Coastal Steward, take a look at our website, Coastalsteward.net to see what we are about.
