Big win today for the College Point coast!! Our advocacy since September resulted in the removal of two motorbikes from the kayaking beach, and a loooooong containment boom from the riprap /seawall. Thanks you to all who alerted us so we and others could file NYC 311 complaints, send emails & make phone calls, reach out to parks dept, the coast guard, the mayors office— basically anyone who could possibly could help! Today, a contractor for NYC Parks’ Office of Marine Debris Disposal got the job done. They need to come back & get the dock part — but more to come!

What a beautiful day to clean
Powell’s Cove Park! Big enthusiastic thanks to all of the students and adult volunteers who came out and helped!! You made a huge difference: you filled 35 bags with trash from the park and coastline, and collected large hunks of Styrofoam, a couch cushion, a stool, car parts, a safe (empty) a carpet, etc etc. Sooo many plastic bags were hanging from the sea grasses and from waterfront branches!

Last night’s downpour made a strong case for rain barrels— connected mine yesterday and they’re already half full! If you’re interested, now is a good time: $500 rebates are available to Nassau& Suffolk County residents through the “Long Island Garden Rewards Program.” The application is simple; see link in bio.
