Pleasure Beach Boat Lift and Cleanup September 25, 2010

The 2009 Boat Lift and Clean Up Crew poses for a apres cleanup photo. We have much more to do this year and hope you'll join us for another run to Pleasure Beach!

Join Connecticut Community Boating for the second annual Pleasure Beach Boat Lift and Cleanup. We will embark from Remington Beach at Seaside Park at 9AM and sail to Pleasure Beach in the CCB Fleet. Once there we will clean up the massive amount of debris and pollution that lines the shores of the long abandoned property. We will boat lift the collected items back to the mainland for proper disposal. This is a chance to visit the peninsula once heralded as “The Jewel of the Eastern Seaboard”, off limits since the burning of the bridge on Father’s Day 1996. To register for the clean up that is part of International Coast Cleanup Day, please call 203-382-3661 or email ctcommunityboating@gmail.com . This event is made possible in partnership with Save the Sound.
