Local Teens Clean Up Raritan Bay Waterfront Park In South Amboy [PHOTOS]

SOUTH AMBOY, NJ — Local Middlesex County teens, their parents and civic groups got their hands dirty Saturday, when they participated in a group clean-up of Raritan Bay Waterfront Park in South Amboy.

Volunteers spread out across the bayfront park to remove trash.

More than 80 beach clean-ups — called "beach sweeps" — took place across the state Saturday, part of a yearly event organized by Clean Ocean Action, an ocean advocacy group on the Jersey Shore.

Members of the Middlesex County Youth Conservation Corps participated, as did Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, a Democrat who lives in Woodbridge.

Next, Middlesex County will host a trail clean-up on November 15 at Davidson’s Mill Pond Park in South Brunswick. Volunteers are needed to do trail maintenance and habitat improvement. Learn more about that here: https://www.middlesexcountynj.... or email Middlesex.communications@co.middlesex.nj.us
