What a day for a clean up! On Saturday, Oct. 21st, ENB teamed up with BUD/S & Beyond and Norm Bloom & Son Oyster Company to clean up marine debris along the coastal sections of several Norwalk Islands. We combed over the beaches of Shea, Grassy and Copps Island, picking up debris that has washed ashore over the years and creates an eyesore on these otherwise beautiful coastal islands. The debris was put onto boats and hauled over to our dockside headquarters in East Norwalk. From there it was loaded into dumpsters and hauled off to the transfer station. Just over 18 cubic yards of marine debris was ultimately hauled off those 3 islands that day. Thanks to the help from the elite armed services candidates at BUD/S & Beyond, along with Norm Bloom & Son equipment and personnel, we were able to beautify these pristine environments in need of a cleanup. We will continue these coastal island cleanup annually in order to maintain the health and vitality of th
ese natural coastal habitats.
