Operation SPLASH

Preserving Long Island’s south shore bays and waterways through cleanups, education, and advocacy.

Operation SPLASH is a volunteer-based organization committed to improving the quality of Long Island's bays, waterways, and shores. SPLASH members actively carry out this mission through marine debris cleanups, advocacy efforts, and STEM-based education programs for schools and universities.

Captain Cliff and his Massapequa SPLASH crew brought back around 500 pounds of trash from our local salt marshes on a late April spring day. As you can see, there is plenty of large lumber that would be dangerous for boats and other watercraft if left floating on the water. They also recovered a unique old turntable from a long-ago beach party - we hope to find the Disco Ball next time!
