We recognize the need to manage our entire watershed, bay and ocean since all water flows
from "the raindrop to the ocean".

ALO 2008 Earth Day Spring Cleanup Saturday, April 19 10am-2pm Bonnet Island Founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Founded in 1970, the Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in the EDN campaigns every year. Their mission is to grow and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable planet. Earth Day this year is April 22rd. The Alliance for a Living Ocean is celebrating the day by sponsoring a spring cleanup of Bonnet Island, part of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday April 19th. The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge includes more than 43,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats. These habitats are actively protected and managed for migratory birds. The main part of the refuge is located in Oceanville just south of Smithville. It is a great place to visit during the spring and fall migrations. The refuge extends north to cover shoreline properties in Stafford and beyond. One treasured area in the refuge is Bonnet Island. It is a favorite spot for local birds and stopover point for migrating birds. ALO has been sponsoring this cleanup for over 10 years so once again let’s get out there and help keep it clean in time for the spring migration. Join all those people worldwide that participate in Earth Day events by coming and giving 2 hours of your time in the cleanup effort. Date and Time of the Cleanup is Saturday April 19^that 10A.M. to noon. Meet at the Municipal Boat Ramp at Ship Bottom which is adjacent to the western end of the Route 72 causeway bridge leading to Long Beach Island. Directions and supplies for the cleanup will be given out there. Participants then go to Bonnet Island and begin the cleanup. Thanks again for your support.
