WHY:   What Superstorm Sandy destroyed in 36 hours will take years to restore. COA will continue to call on its coalition of organizations, businesses, citizens and municipalities from Cape May to Montauk to help areas in need.  Future Waves of Action days in 2013 will keep the momentum going for continued progress throughout the shore through debris clean ups, sustainable development plans, and projects to improve water quality.
