SSSC would like to thank the wonderful volunteers who helped remove over 1,000 lbs of marine debris from South Kruzof Island on Monday, July 5^th. The cleanup effort was funded by Alaskan Brewing Company’s Coastal CODE program, where 1% of all proceeds from Alaskan Icy Bay IPA goes towards supporting healthy oceans and clean coastlines.

We are so grateful to have been joined by three special guests from Senator Sullivan’s Washington-based office who took part in this cleanup – Carina Nichols, Mary-Eileen Manning, and Robyn Engibous. Senator Sullivan is a co-sponsor of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act, which is a bipartisan legislation that aims to reduce the creation of plastic waste, find uses for the plastic waste that already exists and address the marine debris issue on a global scale. We look forward to working with Senator Sullivan’s office and community members to continue to clean the shores that we love!
