Given the unprecedented situation with COVID-19, Save Our Shores staff are working reduced hours. This allows us to do the work we are still able to under “social distancing” guidelines, while also stretching our limited financial reserves.
Stay tuned for updates on digital gatherings and our beach cleanup app that will allow individuals and families to take “socially-distanced” action to keep trash from entering our majestic Bay!
And if you can, please consider making a donation, signing up as a monthly supporter, or creating a Facebook fundraiser for Save Our Shores to help ensure our beloved, 42-year strong organization can navigate this crisis and be ready to return to full capacity when the situation improves.
Even as we weather these difficult times—our fragile marine ecosystem is depending on us. Together we can protect all that makes life here so special.
