COASST Marine Debris participants survey local beaches and collect data on the characteristics and location of debris – data that will ultimately be used to map the source and transport pathways of debris, as well as the potential harm to people, wildlife, and local coastal ecosystems. Volunteers need NO prior experience, just a commitment to survey a specific beach (about ¾ mile) each month.
If you are interested in participating, join COASST staff for the training session. There is no charge to attend the training, but plan to provide a $20 refundable deposit if you would like to take home a COASST volunteer kit. Training activities take place indoors. Beach surveys are best conducted in groups of 2 or more – please come with a survey partner in mind or plan to join a team during training.
Explore your creativity and exercise your brain! Make new friends and have fun building with LEGO® bricks at the library. Make your own creations or get inspiration from the library’s collection of LEGO® books.
Annual Norwegian Independence Day Parade will begin at Dorothy Anderson Cabin and parade around town. Traditional clothing encouraged!
Parade will end at Meriweather Street with an ice cream social.
We will host the 3rd annual ladies Habitat for Humani-Tea in the town hall to benefit our local Habitat for Humanity non-profit organization. Each year, Seabrook Community Foundation grants money to this organization to do the good work they do in our community. The ladies tea is a celebration of that work and also a way to increase fundraising beyond what the SCF grant money can accomplish.
You will enjoy tea, great food, great company, live music, a mimosa bar, dessert auction, and fabulous guest speakers!
