HERALD NEIGHBORS GLEN COVE HERALD GAZETTE — September 19, 2019 Glen Cove cleans up the coast The City of Glen Cove hosted Internation- al Coastal Cleanup Day at Pryibil Beach and Morgan Memorial Park on Sept. 14. The annual event, which began more than 30 years ago, celebrates coastal communities around the world coming together to clean up the litter along their respective shorelines. During this year’s event, more than 30 residents gathered at the Glen Cove site, along with a team of scuba divers, to fill up trash bags with cigarette butts, Styrofoam, spent fireworks, food wrappers, glass bottles and other garbage. Glen Cove Mayor Timo- thy Tenke, who helped host the event in the city, said it was important for residents to volunteer their time to make sure Glen Cove’s waters and beaches remain clean. “We are a beautiful, waterfront community, and I love when the community comes together to volunteer like this,” Tenke said. “The coastline of Glen Cove is our biggest asset and we must strive to protect it.”
