Beach Clean Up Takes Away Over 100 Pounds of Trash from Vessup.

On Friday, October 1st, PGIA students taking Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Systems & Societies went to Vessup for a beach clean-up along with their teachers, Ms. Kessler, Mr. Huston, and Mr. Pozen, during the second half the of the day.

The 47 students did an excellent job collaborating and powering through the heat of the day. They ended up picking up 122.12 pounds of trash and collected data about the types of marine debris that they will share with UVI. UVI will then use this information to support its goals of creating new legislation/mending current legislation to support our ocean's marine ecosystems.
