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.

A coalition of federal and local officials, environmentalists and Manorville residents held a press conference Monday to call for federal funds to clean up groundwater contamination caused by the Navy and to extend clean public water to that area.
Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) sponsored the meeting at the Manorville home of Kelly McClinchy, in part, he said, to drew attention to the issue.
Riverhead Supervisor Yvette Aguiar and Councilman Tim Hubbard, Adrienne Esposito of the Citizen’s Campaign for the Environment, and Tim Hopkins of the Suffolk County Water Authority also spoke at the press conference.
