Description
Summary:The monthly Clean Ocean Advocate newsletter informs citizens about critical ocean pollution issues, important meeting dates, proposed legislation, special events, and other notes of interest. Articles in this issue include: Winter Flounder Advisory Prompts Tournament to Become a Call to Action; NJ Reviews Coastal Program Progress in 5-Year Assessment; Proposed Reductions of Bacteria in Waterways; Oil and Gas Drilling Proposal Imperils Jersey Shore - Citizen Action Needed; and February's Creature Feature -- the Atlantic Brant, a smaller cousin of the Canada goose. Clean Ocean Action (COA) is a broad-based coalition of over 150 business, community, conservation, environmental, fishing, boating, diving, student, surfing, women's, and service groups. These "Ocean Wavemakers" work to clean up and protect the waters of the New York Bight (the area of water from Cape May, New Jersey, to Montauk Point, New York, and out to the edge of the outer continental shelf). The groups came together in 1984 to investigate sources, effects, and solutions of ocean pollution.
