MARINE DEBRIS REMOVAL
Long Island
MISSION
Develop and promote stewardship, restoration and maintenance projects for trails.
PROJECT DATES
April 2008-present
SUMMARY
Long Island serves as a seawall to Kodiak city, buffering it from wind, knocking down easterly swells and capturing much of the debris that would otherwise land at Kodiak. This annual clean-up improves a beach of high recreational value, serves as a valuable monitoring site for marine debris accumulation over time and provides an annual retreat for the local boy scout troop.
