Our Community Coastal Cleanup at Black and White Beaches was a smashing success! Together, our volunteers removed 78 pounds of trash from both beaches and the surrounding area. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for a morning of sun and service.

Seaside Sustainability extends our sincerest thanks to Manchester’s Open Space and Recreation Committee and Bike and Pedestrian Committee for partnering with us on this awesome event!

At Seaside, a lot of our projects and activities require tools and equipment. We are looking for a place to store our gear, including our drones and a boat! 

We humbly ask that you consider donating some additional storage space so that we can continue serving our community and environment. 

If you have extra space to offer, please reach out to our Executive Director, Eric Magers, at magerse@seasidesustainability.org.

We are grateful for your understanding and generosity!

Alewife Brook in Essex is a migratory run for river herring that links the saltwater marshes to the freshwater spawning area of the Chebacco Lake watershed.

The Volunteer Clearing Project is a one-week initiative in partnership with Division of Marine Fisheries, Ipswich River Watershed Association, PIE Rivers Association, and Seaside Sustainability. Essex County Sheriff’s Department, Essex DPW, and the Chebacco Lake & Watershed Association to unclog a pinch point that impedes fish passage. The short stretch just upstream of Apple Street is flat, and aquatic plants clog the channel. To address this issue, we are seeking volunteers to help remove vegetative growth (mostly cattails) in the stream channel to enhance the fall outbound migration as well as next spring’s upstream migration.

Sign up for one or more of eight work sessions! Sessions are Monday through Thursday, August 19 to 22. Morning sessions will be from 9-11:30am, while those in the afternoon will last from 1-3:30pm.

Seaside Sustainability's Camila Gomez and Rowan Galanis took the PixieDrone out to Cripple Cove Landing to clean up the marine debris concentrated in Gloucester Harbor. Although there was a large presence of seaweed at the surface of the water, the team was able to sort through the debris and enter it for data collection. The collected waste included cigarette butts, plastic food packaging, and nurdles.

"BeBot screens sand, rakes seaweed, levels out expanses of beach, and lifts and carries loads. It collects all waste buried in the defined area."

Seaside Sustainability’s Blue Technology division facilitates the sale and distribution of blue technology devices. These devices are useful tools aligned with Seaside's mission, and we strive to get them into the hands of as many organizations as possible to assist in cleaning up our ocean and educating the public.

We are proud to partner with Searial Cleaners in our efforts to provide these vital innovations to clients up and down the East Coast!

Seaside Sustainability is incredibly grateful to Essex Soap Refill for their support of our organization and commitment to sustainable business practices.
