Saturday, May 10 - The Shark River Cleanup Coalition will hold a cleanup of the Shark River on Saturday May 10th from 9 a.m. to 3pm. There is no rain date. The registration site is Memorial Park Beach on Riverview Ave. in Neptune City. Blue Mountain Spring Water in Manchester sponsors this year’s event. In an effort to stop using disposable plastic bottles, Blue Mountain has agreed to provide filtered spring water and allow the volunteers to fill reusable bottles. Their website is www.bluemountainwater.com.

A land-based cleanup will begin at 9am followed by a free BBQ lunch in the park. After lunch, kayakers and boaters will launch to clean areas of the bay that are inaccessible on foot. If you have a group that can help us, please contact SRCC at 732-681-0059. Participants are asked to wear sturdy shoes, gloves, insect repellant, and sunscreen. Please bring your own watercraft. Garbage bags are provided as well as filtered water provided by Blue Mountain Spring Water.

The mission of the Shark River Cleanup Coalition is to significantly enhance the water quality of the Shark River Estuary and its fresh water tributaries, to improve and protect habitats important to the conservation and abundance of the wildlife, to protect the recreational and commercial uses from degradation and pollution, thereby ensuring the ecology and economic stability of this important watershed.

For more information call 732-681-0059 or visit the Coalition web site www.sharkriver.org.
