EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project expanded local marine debris monitoring and educational efforts in New Hampshire and

continued cleanup efforts that are crucial to increasing awareness, protecting marine life and

beautifying the coastline. . The New Hampshire Coastal Program (NHCP) provided major funding

for this project, with supplementary funding from private donors, and the in-kind services of a

number of local businesses, organizations and individuals. The total budget for this project was

$124,266, with $25,000 in grant funding and $99,266 in matching cash and services.

Highlights of this project:

Marine debris monitoring and removal was done through monthly beach cleanups via our

Adopt-a-Beach Program and the annual New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup (NHCC) and

opportunistic cleanups conducted with local businesses, schools and project partners, and on

the Isles of Shoals.

o During the Adopt-a-Beach Program: Project staff and volunteers conducted 144

beach cleanups in New Hampshire. This involved 1,685 volunteers who removed

3,777 pounds of litter from New Hampshire Beaches. In total, adult volunteers

dedicated 2,013 volunteer hours (1,234 in cleaning the beach, 779 in travel time),

plus an additional 1,067 hours dedicated by volunteers under the age of 18.

o During the 2015 New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup, 1,056 volunteers cleaned 11.7

miles of coastline and removed 1,447 pounds of litter. A total of 37,927 pieces of

litter were recorded.

o Five New Hampshire beach sites were sampled for microplastics. Plastic fragments

and foams were the predominant form of microplastic pollution encountered. Sixty-

four percent of the samples contained foams and 12% contained fragments.

We worked with the Seacoast Science Center to host an informative workshop for 53 area

educators.

Acknowledgements

The project was successful thanks to thousands of volunteers and interns who helped with our

monitoring and education efforts. Special thanks to the New Hampshire Division of Parks and

Recreation, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, GXT Green, Waste

Management, Kohl’s, Liberty Mutual, NextEra Energy Seabrook Station and AERC for their support

INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT GOALS

Trash on the beach and in waterways has many negative effects – it can injure wildlife through

entanglement or ingestion, it can be hazardous to humans, it is expensive to clean up and detracts

from the beauty of the beach. Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation’s 2015 Scope of Work

seeks to increase ocean literacy in New Hampshire and remove harmful debris from the coastline. A

number of agencies and organizations have demonstrated the need to study and mitigate marine

debris around the world. While there is some raking of state beaches during the summer months,

BOS’s cleanup and outreach programs represent the only consistent, targeted activities to study and

mitigate marine debris on the NH coast.

Our Scope of Work was accomplished through the following objectives:

1. Recruit and train new volunteers, conduct monthly cleanups at public beaches, involve local

community residents in cleanup events and identify new cleanup sites for the Adopt-a-Beach

Program.

2. Collect, record and analyze data on the type and amount of debris collected, including debris

collected at the International Coastal Cleanup, and prepare a report on the data collected.

3. Organize and host a workshop for area educators and naturalists in order to increase

awareness of local issues, data and resources.

4. Coordinate the 2015 New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup in conjunction with the International

Coastal Cleanup.

5. Partner with Dr. Gabriela Bradt at NH Sea Grant/UNH Cooperative Extension to study and

conduct outreach around microplastics, a pollutant that has not been explored much in New

Hampshire to date. Dr. Bradt will recruit and train volunteers to collect nine samples from

three sampling sites at each of 12 local beaches, every three months for a year. The samples

will be processed, and microplastic pieces will be isolated, categorized, quantified and

statistically analyzed to determine the concentration of microplastics at NH beaches. Blue

Ocean will work with Dr. Bradt to create and distribute outreach and education materials,

such as brochures, blog and website posts and newsletter articles.

6. Outreach: All outreach materials intended for public distribution, including flyers,

newsletters, websites, etc., shall include the NOAA, NHCP, and NHDES logos. In addition, a

funding credit using the following language shall appear on all products intended for public

distribution. “This project was funded in part by a federal grant from NOAA’s Office of

Ocean and Coastal Resource Management under the Coastal Zone Management Act in

conjunction with the NH Department of Environmental Services Coastal Program.”

7. Prepare and submit a semi-annual progress report to the NHCP by July 13, 2015 for the

period January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015.

PROJECT TASKS & RESULTS

Below are the contracted grant tasks in our 2015 scope of work, our accomplishments on each.

1. Recruit and train new volunteers, conduct monthly cleanups at public beaches, involve

local community residents in cleanup events and identify new cleanup sites for the

Adopt-a-Beach Program.

Volunteers were recruited for cleanups via our web site, public presentations and programs,

media releases, and social media. They were trained

via a brief orientation at the cleanup site, or with a

program conducted at their site in advance (e.g., at a

school, to orient students prior to the cleanup). At

each cleanup, volunteers recorded their findings on

a data card (Figure 2). They were asked to make

sure to record items that were listed on the data

card, and invited to write additional findings in the

margins. A limitation to this data card is that it

doesn’t include a line for miscellaneous plastic and

small rope, both of which are found in large

numbers at cleanups.

Monthly Cleanups and Adopt-a-Beach Program

During our Adopt-a-Beach program and

opportunistic cleanups, 144 cleanups were

conducted. This involved 1,685 volunteers who

removed 3,777 pounds of litter from New

Hampshire Beaches. In total, adult volunteers

dedicated 2,013 volunteer hours (1,234 in cleaning

the beach, 779 in travel time), plus an additional

1,067 hours dedicated by volunteers under the age

of 18.

We had difficulty recruiting and retaining volunteers for the Adopt-a-Beach program this year.

While we received a number of adoption applications, no groups adopted a beach long term

(except for a Cub Scout Pack in Maine). We tried to fill gaps in cleanups and data collection

through conducting opportunistic cleanups with groups whenever possible. We look forward to

reinvigorating our Adopt-a-Beach program and recruiting new groups in 2016, and already have

at least one potential adopter for a beach in Rye.

Table 1 shows all the groups currently involved in the Adopt-a-Beach program, including those

in other states. This shows groups that regularly submit data from cleanups.

The company GXT Green is in its second year of sponsoring our cleanups at Jenness Beach in

2015 via a monetary donation and through providing degradable bags.

Less cleanups were done in 2015, and the amount of trash picked up per volunteer was the lowest

ever (Table 2). The decrease in cleanups and weight removed may be due to two things: there

appears to be less large debris on the beach than ever, and we have had some attrition in Adopt-a-

Beach groups, some of which have communicated that their beach doesn’t seem to require as

much maintenance since they are finding less debris. We are planning to reinvigorate this

program in 2016 with more energy and a stronger focus on the impacts of smaller debris (e.g.,

microplastics) and that they are still prevalent on our local beaches.

New Sites for Adopt-a-Beach Program

In 2016, we will be recruiting Adopt-a-Beach groups (and opportunistic groups) for the following

beaches, which are not currently being cleaned on a regular basis:

Peirce Island, Portsmouth

Pirate’s Cove Beach, Rye

Cable Beach, Rye

North Hampton State Beach, North Hampton

Sections of North Beach and the Main Beach in Hampton Beach

Sections of Seabrook Beach

Where Adopt-a-Beach groups have not been recorded, we will try to do monthly cleanups with

businesses, Scout troops, school groups, etc. to make sure key beaches in New Hampshire are

being monitored at least on a monthly basis.

In December 2015, we held an event at the Blue Mermaid in Portsmouth to announce preliminary

cleanup results and recruit volunteers for 2016.

2. Collect, record and analyze data on the type and amount of debris collected, including

debris collected at the International Coastal Cleanup, and prepare a report on the data

collected.

Data cards used in our monthly/Adopt-a-Beach cleanups and the New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup

are different, so we are presenting the data separately.

Monthly Cleanups

Table 3 and Figure 3 show the top ten items recorded at cleanups over the past 3 years. In all years,

cigarette butts were the most common item, although we collected less than 50% of the cigarettes

this year as last year. Bottle caps, plastic bottles and rope were also commonly found items this year.

The plastic bags may not all be typical plastic bags, e.g., grocery bags – plastic bag-like items like

chip bags and wrappers may also have been recorded by volunteers as plastic bags. Likewise,

Styrofoam cups (which ranked #8 in our Top Ten) may also be Styrofoam pieces mistakenly

recorded as Styrofoam cups, since there isn’t a field for Styrofoam pieces on our data card.

Analysis of Cleanup Data 2004-2015

Data from 2004-2015 were examined to look for trends in the pounds of trash, volunteer

participation and top trash items. Table 4 and Figure 4 show the results of this analysis. In 2015,

volunteer numbers and litter decreased. The average number of volunteers per cleanup was its

highest in the past 5 years (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Volunteers and pounds of trash collected at cleanups, 2004-2015.

An analysis of the average number of 5 prevalent trash items (cigarettes, rope ≥1m, cans, plastic

bottles and straws, Table 5) per cleanup shows that the #1 item, cigarette butts, has fluctuated from

an average of 101 cigarette butts per cleanup (2011) to 353 cigarette butts per cleanup (2005). In

2015, we picked up 127 cigarette butts per cleanup, which is a decrease over the past several years.

Rope increased slightly this year. The average number of cans, plastic bottles, and straws recorded

per cleanup were similar to the last 2 years.

Hooksett Disks

Notably, cleanup volunteers continue to find biofilm chips (“disks”) from the Hooksett

Wastewater Treatment Plant spill on March 6, 2011. The disks have also been found recently

across the Atlantic Ocean. In August 2015, Blue Ocean Society was tagged in an Instagram post

(Figure 5) in summer 2015 by a beachcomber who has found several disks on beaches in

Cornwall, England. Data on the number of disks found in 2015 is available upon request.

Isles of Shoals

In addition to the regular monthly

cleanups, in August we did a

presentation to about 20 conferees at

the Star Island Conference Center on

Star Island and conducted a cleanup

that removed 26 pounds of debris

from the island.

Derelict Fishing Gear

Funds originally proposed for

microplastics sampling supplies in

our Scope of Work were not needed,

but

we did utilize funds for disposal of

derelict fishing gear. This disposal

occurred at the commercial fishing

piers in Rye and Portsmouth.

Fishermen voluntarily disposed of

old or unfishable gear. An estimated

total of 7 tons of gear was disposed.

International Coastal Cleanup/New

Hampshire Coastal Cleanup

This year’s New Hampshire Coastal

Cleanup was held on Saturday,

September 19, with a student cleanup

on Friday, September 18.

In addition to the two main cleanup

days in September, we also

conducted cleanups with groups

from September 21-October 31, for a

total of 26 cleanups. The cleanup

involved 1,056 volunteers who

cleaned 11.7 miles of coastline and

removed 1,447 pounds of litter. A

total of 37,927 pieces of litter were

recorded. The litter items are shown

Although many factors can determine the amount of trash

collected and the volunteer participation rate during the NHCC, we compared volunteer recruitment

rate and debris collected with that information from past cleanups.

Past Years Analysis

Table 8 shows results available for cleanups dating back to 1993, so we could compare the 2015

cleanup to other cleanups over the years. The year 2004 was not included in this analysis since there

was a Nor’easter that prevented many sites from being cleaned, and data from 1996-1999 were

unavailable. In 2013, the Ocean Conservancy changed the International Coastal Cleanup data card to

include tiny trash – pieces of foam, plastic and glass less than 2.5 cm in size.

Cigarettes are consistently the number 1 item recorded. Once plastic and foam pieces were added to

the data card in 2013, they quickly jumped into the top 5 items. Volunteers cleaned a shorter distance

of shoreline this year compared to the last few years. We also had a decrease in the number of

cleanup sites, although the number of volunteers has been similar over the past 5 years. As in other

recent years, there has been a great decrease in the amount of litter from the initial years (1993-1995)

reported in the table, which may be a reflection of increased cleanups year-round (rather than having

just one big cleanup), removal of large accumulations of marine debris that has not piled back up

since, and perhaps better awareness of our impact on the environment and less littering by the public.

Volunteer Recruitment

Volunteers for the NHCC were recruited via an email to past participants, BOS newsletters and web

site, media releases (including a Press Kit, available in the Appendix), social media, online event

calendars, posters (provided by the Ocean Conservancy), word-of-mouth and the Ocean

Conservancy’s ICC web site at www.signuptocleanup.org. Volunteers signed up via e-mail or by

phone or were part of a group organized by one of our site coordinators. Public volunteers were

assigned to a cleanup site based on the size of the group and size of the site.

Figure 7 shows the number of volunteers participating in the cleanup over the years. There was a

general increasing trend in participation over the years, with a range of 800 to 1,557 volunteers. The

cleanup involved 1,056 volunteers this year, which was a slight decrease from last year.

Items and Pounds

Since particular items collected can influence the pounds collected (e.g. collecting many heavy

items may skew the pounds collected upward), we looked at a ratio of pounds collected and

number of items recorded per mile over the years (Figure 8, Figure 9). Pounds collected per mile

ranged from 83 in 2014 to 833 in 1993; with a general trend downward. In 2015, the average

pounds collected per mile (124) was higher than the previous four years.

Figure 8. Pounds of debris per mile during the New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup, 1993-2015.

Figure 9 shows the average number of items recorded per mile. Volunteers recorded almost double the

number of items in 2015 (3,242) as in 2014 (1,709). This is possibly due to an increased focus on

picking up smaller items, or because cleanups occurred on a smaller coastline this year.

3. Organize and host a workshop for area educators and naturalists in order to increase

awareness of local issues, data and resources.

A workshop was hosted at the Seacoast Science Center on May 3, 2015 and had 53 attendees.

Affiliations of the attendees included BOS and Seacoast Science Center staff and volunteers,

local science teachers, UNH Marine Docents, local whale watch naturalists and interested

members of the public. Presentation topics included: marine debris, whales in the Gulf of Maine,

whale entanglements, climate change, green initiatives at Star Island, and more. A copy of the

agenda is in the Appendix.

After the workshop, a Survey Monkey survey was sent to all participants; 20 responded. Some

comments from the online survey were:

Positive comments:

You always have the best variety of speakers.

The topics bring visibility to some of concerns about the health of our oceans.

Learning about the pollution impacts of the area and how Star Island went green.

interesting marine topics esp. whale disentanglements and turtle presentation

Always love to hear ways we can be more involved in order to effect positive change in

the marine environment.

I wouldn't mind repeating or expanding on some topics that have been covered in the

past: seabirds, turtles, microplastics, turtles, red tide, clean ups, general environment

health etc. ...... I think you generally offer a really great smattering of interesting topics.

THANKS for doing this. The region needs education programs.

I love that the speakers and presentations were short but full of information. Too often

presentations are long and the audience becomes tired. This was not so with your

workshop. It was great

Suggestions for improvement:

I think many are ready for even more research data and deeper information. Some if the

info was general and too basic for the concerned individual.

It feels a bit long. One less presenter would be better.

people talking during the presentation

Wish there were more hands on activities, or more opportunities to share stories with the

other participants. Maybe start with a game after lunch, or share a story from a whale

watch. It would be nice to better break the ice.

Something about trends in the bait schools, severe weather and water temps and how it

relates to the whale presence would be interesting

Research data on effects of climate change (ocean acidification) on marine life; data on

pelagic bird populations.

Any new rules about ghost gear and be able to remove it

I think we could make it a zero waste event with recycle bins and compost bucket at the

food area (this respondent volunteered to make that happen).

17

All of the respondents said they were either very likely or extremely likely to recommend the

workshop to others. Ninety percent of the survey respondents said that they were extremely likely

or very likely to would attend the workshop if we had it again in the following year, and ten

percent said they were moderately likely to attend again.

4. Coordinate the 2015 New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup in conjunction with the

International Coastal Cleanup.

The New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup was coordinated in conjunction with the International

Coastal Cleanup. Results are discussed in item #2 above.

5. Partner with Dr. Gabriela Bradt at NH Sea Grant/UNH Cooperative Extension to study

and conduct outreach around microplastics, a pollutant that has not been explored

much in New Hampshire to date. Dr. Bradt will recruit and train volunteers to collect

nine samples from three sampling sites at each of 12 local beaches, every three months

for a year. The samples will be processed, and microplastic pieces will be isolated,

categorized, quantified and statistically analyzed to determine the concentration of

microplastics at NH beaches. Blue Ocean will work with Dr. Bradt to create and

distribute outreach and education materials, such as brochures, blog and website posts

and newsletter articles.

The 2015 beach microplastics sampling season was truncated due to weather and maternity leave

for contractor Dr. Gabriela Bradt who was the lead investigator for the project. This was the

second year that microplastics were surveyed on 5 of the most used beaches in the state. New

Hampshire Sea Grant provided funding for the initial year of this project.

Beaches Sampled

Between May and September 2015, the following beaches were sampled- Hampton Beach,

Hampton Harbor, Jenness Beach, North Hampton State Beach and Wallis Sands State Beach.

Based on the 2014 pilot study conducted by NH Sea Grant, these five beaches were the beaches

that contained consistently higher concentrations of microplastics out of all of the main beaches

in New Hampshire.

Each of the five beaches were sampled once per month from May 2015 to September 2015. A

total of 250 samples were collected via 25 sampling sessions (18 volunteers) and sorted during 3

sorting sessions (8 volunteers over 26 hours). Below is a summary table of the activities that

resulted this project. These indicate the relevance and importance of continuing to build and

conduct sampling activities on New Hampshire beaches.

18

Table 9. Summary of Microplastics Activities.

Microplastics Sampling Results

While the sampling season was shorter than proposed in our Scope of Work, the data collected

filled in some gaps from the previous year’s data set. Future sampling should occur between

April and November and that is the goal for the coming 2016 season. However, in 2015, we were

able to collect data during three of the most high-usage months of the entire year, June, July and

August. In the past, these months were avoided because of the difficulty encountered by

volunteers in sampling during such high traffic times. This preliminary data for this time of year

is important to collect because it establishes a baseline that can be used as a comparison for

future years.

Results for the concentration of microplastics are in Figure 10. During the 5 months of sampling,

Jenness Beach had the highest average concentration of microplastics (3090 pieces/ m3), with the

highest concentration found during the month of May. Wallis Sands State Beach had the second

highest average concentration of microplastics (2890 pieces/m3) and had the highest overall

concentration of microplastics found during the sampling season (7100 pieces/m3 during the

month of August) followed by Hampton Harbor (1762 pieces/m3), Hampton Beach (1660

pieces/m3) and North Hampton State Beach (500 pieces/ m3).

While at first glance it is surprising that Hampton Beach did not have the highest average

concentration of microplastics because of its high level of recreational use during the summer,

this is likely explained by the fact that during the summer months, Hampton Beach is raked by

State Parks every day. Additionally, while Jenness Beach is also raked, sampling didn’t happen

to coincide during these times like it did with Hampton Beach.

There is no clear trend indicating which beach was the most impacted by microplastics during

which month. The data collected follow the same pattern as our previous year of data collection

in the variability that is seen in the data set. No one beach has a consistently higher

concentration than another regardless of month sampled.

Types of Microplastics

The seven main categories of microplastics found in samples are:

Pellets (pre- fabricated nurdles)

Fragments

Whole Pieces

Foams

Films

Filaments

Cigarette Part

In all beaches sampled, the predominant types of microplastic found were fragments and foams,

except for Jenness Beach where pellets composed the highest percentage of microplastics.

In all beaches sampled, regardless of month, plastic fragments and foams continue to be the

predominant form of microplastic pollution encountered and at least on Jenness Beach, plastic

pellets appear to be increasing in concentration- which is a significant find compared to last

year’s data.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This project enhanced our efforts to protect marine life and their environment through increasing

awareness of coastal issues, removing thousands of pounds of debris and increasing awareness of

coastal issues by organizing a workshop for area educators and members of the public.

We have had great support from volunteers and significant interest in our Adopt-a-Beach program,

but organizing cleanups and recruiting volunteers seems to be a constant process. During this project,

we have been drafting a new strategic plan, and cleanups and the Adopt-a-Beach program are

prominent in this plan. Actions include revitalizing our Adopt-a-Beach program through gaining and

incorporating feedback from cleanup volunteers and Adopt-a-Beach team leaders, communicating

more regularly with Adopt-a-Beach groups, recruiting more groups to conduct cleanups, and

continuing to partner with New Hampshire Sea Grant to study microplastics.

In addition, we need to change our data card to better reflect current concerns in marine debris, such

as including more detailed data collection on plastics. We will be working with groups in the Gulf of

Maine to look at data cards currently being used and develop a data card that better aligns with our

needs. We will also assess volunteer interest in collecting data using a smartphone app (e.g., using

Marine Debris Tracker or Ocean Conservancy’s Clean Swell app).

Our recommendations also include developing campaigns that inspire people to take action to

prevent marine debris. Our data can be used to show problem areas – we now need to take more

aggressive steps to increase awareness of the marine debris problem and the simple actions people

can take to prevent it.

Our work on microplastics show that microplastics are prevalent on New Hampshire beaches, but

more work needs to be done to form a complete data set. We also have many lessons learned from

that project, including the best times to sample for microplastics, the difficulty in recruiting

volunteers for the tedious outdoor sampling (in all weather conditions) and how best to sort the

samples and analyze the data. We hope to continue our microplastics studies, especially in the

warmer months were there is higher likelihood of being able to collect usable samples.

Our Educator’s Workshop is always one of the highlights of our year, and we look forward to

continuing this workshop and incorporating feedback from the 2015 participants.

Overall, there seems to be a downward trend in marine debris, which is hopefully attributable in part

to greater awareness. It is likely also due to regular “maintenance” of cleanup sites, and the large

number of cleanups that volunteers conduct each year. Despite this downward trend, marine debris is

still a significant issue along the Seacoast, and continued cleanup, research, education and prevention

programs are necessary to prevent this threat to marine life, increase the safety of Seacoast New

Hampshire beaches and reduce the impact of marine debris on the local economy.

International Coastal Cleanup coming toSeacoastBlue Ocean Society to lead N.H. event

COMMENT

Posted Sep. 7, 2015 at 12:38 PM

PORTSMOUTH — Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation’s 30th annual International CoastalCleanup is Sept. 19 and will be conducted at approximately 25 sites along the New Hampshirecoast and Great Bay.

Volunteers are needed to assist and business groups, residents and volunteer groups areencouraged to join. Cleanup hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., but may vary by site.

Blue Ocean Society was awarded a grant from the New Hampshire Coastal Program tocoordinate the event in New Hampshire. The International Coastal Cleanup is billed as the largestvolunteer one­day event of its kind.

Blue Ocean Society, a Portsmouth­based nonprofit, has coordinated the New Hampshire CoastalCleanup since 2005 and strives to spread awareness about the marine environment and theimportance of proper trash disposal. During the cleanup, each piece of trash collected isrecorded, and the data is used to implement city and state projects to lessen waste on ourbeaches.

Last year’s cleanup in New Hampshire drew more than 1,120 volunteers who cleaned 26 miles ofcoastlines and waterways. Volunteers collected 37,085 pieces of debris, which amounted to2,207 pounds of trash. The number one item collected was cigarette butts, of which more than25,000 were collected.

Numerous mammals, birds, and fish die each year from entanglement or ingestion of dangerousdebris. Items such as fishing line, nets, plastic bags, balloons, ribbon and six­pack holders arepotentially fatal when not disposed of properly. Some of the debris comes from ocean­basedsources, but according to the Ocean Conservancy, 62 percent of debris collected comes fromrecreational activities on or near the water.

This year’s cleanup will be conducted with the assistance of several local sponsors, includingWaste Management, which is assisting with trash disposal; as well as the New HampshireCoastal Program, Wentworth­Douglass Hospital, Exeter Hospital and Starbucks.

To join the cleanup, call Blue Ocean Society at (603) 431­0260 or e­mail info@blueoceansociety.org. For more information, visit www.blueoceansociety.org.

HAMPTON — Members of Seabrook Middle School’s Interact Club and National Junior HonorSociety joined the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation to clean up Hampton BeachMonday.

“I love doing this with the students,” said Abby Gronberg, programs and volunteer coordinatorfor the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation. “It’s an opportunity for them to see both thenegative impact that people can have on their environment but also the positive impact they canhave when they clean it up.”

Gronberg said that the 22 students picked up eight pounds of trash off a section of the beach in alittle over an hour. She said the debris included nets, rope, cans, bottles, balloons, fireworkspieces, straws, bottle caps, and 1,972 cigarette butts.

Gronberg told the students that their collection may not have seemed like a lot to them, butwhat they did collect was very important.

“It’s those small pieces, that’s what the animals eat or bring home to their chicks, or can getcaught in their throats and bodies,” Gronberg said. She said animals are attracted to bright shinypieces of plastic and glass.

Even though the beach had been raked prior to the students’ effort, there were small items thatthe rakes had missed and other items that were buried just beneath the surface.

“The state parks service does such a great job,” said Seabrook Middle School Assistant Principaland Interact Facilitator Bryan Belanger. Belanger said that he and his family enjoy the beach allsummer. “The beach is in far better condition than I have ever seen it,” he said.

Belanger said that the event was a way for the students to experience community service andcelebrate the culmination of their year together. The clean­up was the second time in two yearsthat the clubs joined together for the effort.

SMS’s Interact Club was chartered through the support and sponsorship of the Hampton RotaryClub in 2013. Interact and the school’s National Junior Honor Society share similar service­oriented goals and work throughout the year to raise money for various charities and work invarious community service projects. The Interact Club recently raised $1500 in its “Nickels forNails” campaign for Habitat for Humanity. The NJHS ran a Holiday Food Drive to benefitRockingham Community Action’s food pantry.

“Any time that we can help our kids experience community service is important,” SMS’sGuidance Counselor and National Junior Honor Society Faculty Advisor Shannon Flaherty.Flaherty said the group was surprised by the amount of cigarette butts they accumulated in ashort period of time, and the fact that people don’t seem to think that their cigarette butts areactually trash.

“It really ties into a health lesson, because everyone is so disgusted by the number of cigarettebutts and the thought of so many people doing something so unhealthy,” she said.

For eighth­grader Sean McGinness, the clean­up marked his final activity with the SMS group. “Ilike being able to help the environment by cleaning up the beach,” he said.

“We took our time to find what was on the beach,” said eighth­grader Nicole Knowles. Knowlesand another student found 350 cigarette butts in only one hour. “We’re helping to keep our beachcleaner and our community cleaner,” she said.

“This experience has an impact on our kids,” Belanger said. “They go home with a sense ofresponsibility and they remember it when they return here in the summer,” he said.

Posted Oct. 12, 2015 at 1:34 PM

HAMPTON – Heronfield Academy students traveled to North Beach in Hampton last week for theirannual all­school service project, a beach­clean up with Blue Ocean Society.

With a rising tide and large, crashing waves from an offshore storm in the background, studentstrekked the length of the beach looking for debris, small or large. Some students pulled lengthsof fishing rope and pieces of traps from between the rocks. Others found small plastic pieces,food wrappers and plastic bottles.

After an hour of hunting, students had collected 58 pounds of trash from the beach, including 126cigarette butts, 89 plastic bottle caps and 63 foam or plastic packages.

The Blue Ocean Society to Host Clean­UpsThroughout the SeacoastBy GREEN ALLIANCE | Published: SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 | Leave a comment

By Katelyn Monroe

PORTSMOUTH – Fall is approaching quickly, but there’s still plenty of time to get outdoorsand hit the beach. On Saturday, September 19, join Blue Ocean Society for MarineConservation and volunteers from across the seacoast for the New Hampshire CoastalCleanup.

Blue Ocean Society is a non‐profit organization, based in Portsmouth, working to protectmarine animals in the Gulf of Maine through education, research, and conservation to bothadults and students. Blue Ocean Society organizes the New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup inconjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup now in its 30th year.

This year’s cleanup will be conducted atapproximately 25 sites along the NewHampshire coastline, and volunteers areneeded to assist from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.During the cleanup, each piece of trashcollected is recorded, and the data is usedto implement city and state projects toreduce waste on New Hampshire beaches.

Last year the event was successful withmore than 1,120 volunteers cleaning 26miles of New Hampshire’s coastlines andwaterways. Volunteers collected 2,207 pounds of trash and the most common itemcollected was cigarette butts, of which more than 25,000 were collected. Jen Kennedy,Director of Blue Ocean Society said she is hoping for a larger volunteer turn out to makethis year the most successful New Hampshire cleanup yet.

The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) is the largest volunteer one‐day event of its kind.The Ocean Conservancy, an organization that promotes healthy and diverse oceans andopposes practices that threaten ocean and human life, started the ICC in Texas in 1985.For its own part, Blue Ocean Society has coordinated the New Hampshire Cleanup since2005 and was awarded a grant from the New Hampshire Coastal Program to organize andrun the event.

The New Hampshire Coastal Program is federally approved and authorized under the CoastalZone Management Act and is administered by the New Hampshire Department ofEnvironmental Services. The program aims to create a balance between the use andpreservation of coastal resources. Through partnerships, funding and science, the NHCPworks to improve water quality and decision‐making in 42 coastal watershed communities,supports maritime uses, and restores coastal wetlands.

Various local businesses have come together to sponsor this year’s cleanup, such asWentworth‐Douglass Hospital, Exeter Hospital, GXT Green, and Starbucks. The event is alsosponsored in part by Waste Management, who will assist with the disposal of the collectedgarbage.

Additionally, Blue Ocean Society is a Business Partner with the Green Alliance, a locallydriven union passionate about bringing together environmentally friendly businesses whilealso providing its members with discounts on green products and services.

As part of the New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup, Blue Ocean Society will also hold a schoolcleanup on September 18, for students to participate in the 30th Annual International Dayof Cleanup. Students from across the state will gather at Hampton Beach State Park, RyeHarbor State Park, and Wallis Sands State Park. Blue Ocean Society hopes at least fiveschools will attend this year, and welcomes all who are interested.

Before heading out to the cleanup, students will learn about environmental problemsrelated to marine debris, including the dangers of human waste to marine mammals, fish,and birds from entanglement or ingestion. Students will collect trash on the beach andrecord their findings on data cards for further study by the Ocean Conservancy as part oftheir efforts to learn about marine pollution, locally and on an international level.

Last year, over 400 students, teachers and chaperones participated in the cleanup andcollected 300 pounds of trash. The number one item collected was cigarette butts,including almost 13,000 by students alone.

In addition to the student cleanup, Blue Ocean Society offers interactive presentationsabout marine pollution, research, and conservation to area schools. To learn more aboutthe NH Coastal Cleanup for students or to schedule a presentation, call (603) 431‐0260 oremail Jen at Jen@blueoceansociety.org

PORTSMOUTH – About 30 people showed up to help with the Blue Ocean Society for MarineConservation’s Earth Day Cleanup at Peirce Island Saturday morning.

“Lots of cigarette butts are being picked up,” said Mike Toepfer, a volunteer with Blue Ocean andthe organizer of the cleanup.

In just one hour volunteers had picked up enough litter to fill three 30­gallon trash bags as theycombed the areas around the fenced­in pool and along the still melting mountains of snow andby the riverfront.

Volunteer Barbara Mcgaughey of Kittery, Maine, also said she had found a lot of cigarette butts,fast food wrappers, pieces of plastic, and plastic bags. “And unbagged dog poop,” she said.

Volunteers were in small groups with one member of the group marking down what was foundon a clipboard. Some also found beer bottles. The volunteers stopped short of the dog park partof the island. Toepfer said the Friends of Peirce Island usually do its own cleanup of that section.

Among the volunteers was a group of students from the Cooperative Middle School in Stratham.Sixth­graders Hannah Priest, Sonia Russell, Effini Pendell, Alexandra Pendell, and eighth­graderMeridius Pendell were busy by the outdoor pool area, with Priest marking down all the

findings. They were volunteering as part of the 30 hours of community service each year that isa school requirement.

Blue Ocean Earth Day Cleanups were also taking place Saturday at Hampton Beach and CapeNeddick Beach in Maine. The cleanups are sponsored by Gells, an apparel company based inConnecticut. Beach cleanups are a way for the public to get involved in keeping the beachesalong the Gulf of Maine clean by removing litter that can be harmful to marine life. By recordingtheir findings, Blue Ocean is able to learn about long­term trends in pollution and problem areas.

Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse in Newington provided turkey subs for the Peirce Island volunteers.Scott Lauer of Bugaboo Creek said since the restaurant is a member of the Greater PortsmouthChamber of Commerce, it wanted to help. He, too, was picking up trash along the river.

More beach cleanups are planned for April 25, May 9 and May 16. To find out more,visitwww.blueoceansociety.org.
