"DID YOU KNOW that each day more than 65 million gallons of sewage is dumped on Long Island shores, beaches and bays? We're fighting to stop this!
DID YOU KNOW that street storm drains, and the oil, litter and waste they carry, empty unfiltered into our waterways? We're fighting to stop this! (more)
DID YOU KNOW that pollutants and chemicals are building up in our bays, killing plants and bottom-dwelling marine life? We're fighting to stop this!
DID YOU KNOW that water temperatures and pH levels are so high, and oxygen levels so low, some bays will no longer support marine life? We're fighting to stop this!" (http://www.operationsplash.org/What.htm)
Check out the amazing work Operation Splash is doing to help clean up our beaches!
Operation S.P.L.A.S.H. (Stop Polluting, Littering And Save Harbors), a non-profit, all-volunteer organization of more than 2,500 members committed to improving the quality of life along our Long Island shores. We live here. We grew up here. We know how beautiful and rich this area once was. And we have seen nature starting to make a comeback.
