Operation Coast Sweep


On September 20, 2022, forty five students from Northbridge High School descended on Nantasket Beach in Hull Massachusetts with the objective of cleaning it. This community service project was done in partnership with Coastsweep.gov and the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The students collected dozens of bags of assorted trash for proper disposal. Items included multiple forms of plastic, abandoned lobster traps that had washed ashore, netting, an old mattress, plus assorted bottles and cans. Removing these items made the environment safer for wildlife and beach goers alike. The students took great pride in helping restore Nantasket to it’s pristine condition.
