Navesink Highlighted in Upcoming "Share the Shore" Event

The American Littoral Society, with the help of a slew of participants, is hosting events all along New Jersey's coast this Saturday.

The American Littoral Society is celebrating its 50th anniversary by inviting anyone and everyone from Montauk to the Delaware Bay to participate in its Share the Shore event this Saturday.

According to a release from the organization, shore lovers, beach walks, surfers, fishermen, divers, and others will join together to show the world how and why they love the shore, and to promote efforts that protect the ocean and our valuable coastlines. Share the Shore is the theme for dozens of smaller events that have been participant-created and planned.

Locally, events are taking place in Red Bank along the Navesink River, and at locations in Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, Rumson, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Oceanport and the Shrewsbury River.

In Red Bank, Cindy Burnham and the Maple Cove Kayakers will be holding demonstrations. Just next door from the cove at the Red Bank Public Library, a topical book display will help highlight the area’s natural resources.

The Littoral Society, along with help from event goers who will take photos and videos, will link together all participating sites by creating a virtual tour of the coast and sharing it online, a tour it hopes will send a message about the importance of caring for the cost.
