OCEAN CHAMPIONS TO DIVE INTO “TOUR FOR THE SHORE” CAMPAIGN IN CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY

Paddle, Bike, and Rally from Cape May, NJ to Montauk, NY for a Clean Ocean

Beach-lovers urged to “Get in Motion for the Ocean” to raise awareness of ocean pollution threats and to support for a Clean Ocean Zone

Who: Clean Ocean Action: Executive Director Cindy Zipf, Cyclist/Attorney Sean Dixon;
Outrigger Canoeist Margo Pellegrino,
Aqua Trails: Jeff Martin,
Cape May Nature Center: Gretchen Whitman

What:  Clean Ocean Action and other marine advocacy groups will begin a two week, 230-mile bike-paddle-rally adventure along the coast of Cape May, New Jersey, to Montauk, New York, to raise awareness of ocean pollution issues and the need for a Clean Ocean Zone.

When: Friday, August 10, 2012 at 11 A.M.

Where:“The Cove” Restaurant
405 S. Beach Avenue
Cape May, New Jersey

Why: Facing threats from ocean blasting for oil and gas development, pollution, and reckless development, the Clean Ocean Zone initiative was created by concerned citizens along the New York and New Jersey coastlines to lock-out harmful pollution and industrial activities off the coast while locking-in permanent protection for future generations. The ultimate goal of the Tour for the Shore is to garner enough public support for the citizen-drafted federal law to be enacted.
