Summer
is finally here! Whether sitting on the beach reading a book, cooling off in
the water or just hanging out on the boardwalk, there is always a reason to be
outside in the hot summer months. Why not add ocean activism to that list?
Throughout
July and August, COA will be hosting the 25th annual Clean Ocean
Action Shore Tips (C.O.A.S.T.) campaign to educate citizens about current ocean
pollution issues. As in previous years, you will find our volunteers at
information tables on beaches, beach clubs, and festivals throughout Monmouth
and Ocean counties on weekends in July and August.

We
hope to see lots of supporters on the beaches this summer! Stop by a C.O.A.S.T.
table to learn about ocean pollution issues, sign important petitions, donate
to our cause, buy popular environmentally-themed merchandise and learn how to
become more involved with Clean Ocean Action! Together we can achieve a cleaner
ocean!
Yours for a cleaner ocean,
