Step 3: Most Involvement:
• Participate in beach clean-ups.
• Participate in a Storm Drain Stenciling Project
Storm Drain Stenciling: is a project aimed to reduce marine litter and raise public awareness about the harm of litter. Stencils that read “Don’t Dump: Drains to Long Island Sound” are used along with spray paint to mark storm drains. The purpose is to let the public know that anything they throw in the storm drain will end up in Long Island Sound.
To find out more about how to participate in a stenciling project visit Save the Sound.
