Beach clean up + community paddle on the waterfront

We partnered with the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance for a beach clean up at Dubos Point Wildlife Sanctuary at Rockaway Beach followed by paddling on the waterfront. Our students learned about the local ecology and marine life in the Rockaways, the impact of religious offerings on the environment and the important role they play in cleaning up their community. It was also the first time many of our students went paddling!
