YHS Students Participate in Coastal Cleanup

This weekend's Coastal Cleanup Event on Cousin's Island proved to a a successful one, led by ten students from Yarmouth High School who were joined by teachers Sarah Hirschfeld and Sarah Carrigan.  In total, students removed over 300 pieces of trash and recyclable material - while also recovering a small dingy that had washed up in the grass this past spring.  Some notable items they found were a fully functional kayak paddle, 3 dingies (including the one that was rescued...the others were too deep in to get out), 1 boat cushion, lots of lobster buoys, and 1 tire.  A neighbor's dog also helped us find 3 old tennis balls!  All in all, it was a great day!
