Celebrating Rally for the Navesink: Success in 2017!

 Celebrating Rally for the Navesink: Success in 2017!

On November 30th, Clean Ocean Action held the final meeting in 2017 of Rally for the Navesink. Thanks to the generosity of the Cosgrove family, owners of Bahrs Landing in Highlands, NJ, this special event invited volunteers, supporters, and members to gather at Bahrs Landing for an evening of networking and celebration, and delicious seafood fare buffet!

Folks mingled with representatives from several organizations that make up the Rally for the Navesink Alliance, including American Littoral Society, Monmouth Conservation Foundation, Sierra Club – Jersey Shore Group, Monmouth Boat Club, and Oceanport Water Watch. Special honorees for the evening included Brian Rice of the Navesink River Municipalities Committee, NJDEP’s Rally for the Navesink River Team, and the volunteer water quality monitors who dedicate several hours every week to ensure the success of the Navesink Ambient Citizen Water Quality Monitoring program. Volunteers received a personalized Rally for the Navesink mug, which will now be available for purchase at future events.
