🌊 Happy National Beach Day! 🏖️ Today, we celebrate our beautiful beaches and the joy they bring. Project Oceanology is dedicated to preserving these treasures through beach cleanups during the school year and during the summer, where participants of all ages learn about pollution's impact on Long Island Sound. We have also established a cleanup station at Ocean Beach Park in New London to encourage beachgoers to help keep our shores clean. Let’s work together to keep our beaches pristine, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a perfect Beach Day! ☀️

"At Project Oceanology we are grateful to Enstructure LLC for helping us provide New Haven Public Schools students with hands-on opportunities to experience Long Island Sound and to learn by doing. For many students, our programs are their first opportunity to get out on the water and experience the Sound firsthand.

Thank you to Enstructure for investing in these students and helping make experiences possible that enrich their education and have a lasting impact." Andrew Ely, Executive Director at Project Oceanology
