SNHU Global Days of Service Rye Beach Clean Up

Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation: Beach Clean Up 

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Site

What Went Down: The Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation organizes clean ups because litter on the beach such as cigarettes, food wrappers, straws, and bottle caps can affect marine life, who accidentally swallow this debris or feed it to their young. Fishing line and rope, found in high numbers at cleanups each year, can entangle marine life and also harm humans.
