On Saturday November 18th three BCAHS juniors: Cameron Oliveira, Emma Palermo & Lacey Parker as well as Cameron’s Grandfather, joined more than 50 other volunteers for a beach clean-up on Gooseberry Island in Westport, sponsored by the Westport River Watershed Alliance. The group was able to pick up more than 40 bags of Styrofoam, plastics, bottles, ropes, and other trash. Additionally, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) disposed of the 20-something lobster pots, beach chair, boat radar, and other large items they carried off the beach.
