The Atlantic Marine Conservation Society hosts a beach walk and clean-up on the one-mile of Long Island Sound beachfront at Hallock State Park Preserve in Riverhead, NY, every Saturday at 10:00 a.m., year-round. The late-fall and early winter walks are combined with monitoring for cold-stunned sea turtles. Participants also have the opportunity to learn about local marine wildlife and current marine conservation issues from an AMCS staff biologist. Seasonal parking fees are waived for volunteers.
Over 1,000 pounds of marine debris is collected each year.
More information is available at the AMCS website https://www.amseas.org/events or by calling Hallock State Park Preserve at 631.315.5475.
