Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai is the latest to install a beach clean-up station to encourage conservation.

Here is a frightening fact: Beach trash that travels into the ocean kills more than one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals and turtles each year through ingestion and entanglement, according to Relic, a Long island apparel company that sells sustainable clothing and has a mission to help preserve the environment. One project that Relic helps to promote is the installation of Beach Clean-Up Stations across the shorelines of Long Island. The program provides beachgoers with a station with baskets to pick up trash and deposit it into a conveniently located trash receptacle. The baskets provided are similar to the ones you find in food stores used for grocery shopping.
