To the Editor:

I am a Star Scout with Troop 173 in Parsippany and I was a junior lifeguard in Beach Haven this summer. I am writing to express my concerns about garbage that is impacting the ecosystem of the oceans.

This summer the topic of plastic and waste has been brought up more than other years. I am happy to see this in the news. As a junior lifeguard, I have seen the plastic and waste that is in the water and on the beach.
