'Tour for the Shore' Kayaks, Cycles Into Keansburg
The tour will continue tonight with an environmental summit beginning at 6 p.m. at the Bayshore Senior Center.
The Tour for the Shore made its stop in Keansburg earlier today with a small rally to raise public awareness and participation for the Clean Ocean Zone.
Other local advocates accompanied Margo Pellegrino, traveling by outrigger canoe, and Sean Dixon, traveling by bicycle, as they journeyed from Sandy Hook to Keansburg this morning in the sixth day of the tour.
The Tour for the Shore is a tour by both land and sea from Cape May, New Jersey to Montauk, New York in 16 days to advocate for the Clean Ocean Zone, which would protect the waters from Montauk Point, N.Y. to Cape May, N.J. and more than 19,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean from industrializing activities and pollution.
