One of the aims of the Environmental Committee of the Garden Club of LBI  is protecting the Island and its beaches, surrounding land, bays and the ocean.

John Weber of Oceana recently provided the committee with ways individuals can help protect the sea, including writing letters to officials and helping pass resolutions opposing expanded offshore gas and oil drilling. The website stopthedrill.org has updated information.

Oceana is an international, nonprofit organization dedicated to conservation of the oceans.
