Clean Ocean Action's Waves of Action Conference

Highlights Year-Long Spirit of Volunteerism and Collaboration Responding to Sandy

Clean Ocean Action will host a conference to celebrate the culmination of Waves of Action For The Shore, a year-long Sandy response program, on Saturday, December 7 at McLoone's Pier House in Long Branch, NJ from 8:30AM-12:00PM.  

Almost 14,000 volunteers (and counting) have helped to improve and protect the marine environment through 281 projects, with more than 100 different organizations, in over 70 towns in New York and New Jersey.  

The conference will highlight the extraordinary success of the volunteers and project leaders, include panels on unmet community needs in the aftermath of Sandy, resources to move forward with resiliency and environmental stewardship, and the results of Clean Ocean Action’s sea level rise survey.  Reflections will be made by Monmouth County resident, Brian Thompson, New Jersey reporter for NBC New York.                          

After a year of service and action, join Clean Ocean Action for a continental breakfast and to discuss the state of our shores one year after Sandy, and look ahead to 2014.
